Time to share some new art from my sketchbook

Hi there, yes it’s been a while since I actually shared some new work.. I’ve been doing graphite/pencil in my sketchbook… which I am becoming happier with over time..

Dealing with frustration…

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since my last post…. I have been, and continue to be going through one of the most frustrating times of my life to date.
