Four New Sketches and Happy Birthday to My Muse!

I’m a day late here (Alastair’s birthday was the 9th) but I meant to update this blog yesterday with my four most recent pieces! They’re just simple sketches depicting actual scenes from my novel. Perfectionism was kind of driving me mad…so I decided to let myself get a little messy with these.

Drawing has, unfortunately, continued to feel less enjoyable for me than it used to. The writing just took center stage in my older years. (I’m still editing and getting feedback about my manuscript, and will start hunting for agents officially next year.) I am hopeful, though, that I’ll fall in love with making art again someday and create new full-coloured pieces in my usual style. It’s been far too long. Until then…messy sketches are what’s most comfortable. And that’s okay :)
