Im trying to start drawing again. [View all]

This was done with a bic ink pen. It's not great, but it helped me express some of my "darkness".

It's a self drawing of me trying to write down my experiences while being attacked by my inner "demons" and insecurities.

Adding a pencil sketch from a few years ago of my son. This one brings me joy. This is where I want to be again soon...
