Sketches

Selection of sketches and drawings.

I started sketching when I was 16 years old.

Sketching continues to be an outlet for self-expression. It is a diligent practice that helps me to improve my visual skills (which comes in handy with blog and website visual design).

I enjoy using mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, and pigment liners because of their precision.

This is a selection of sketches I’ve done over the years. I intend to do more bird drawings in future as they are my favorite subject.
