With all the recent stress surrounding my mom’s surgery, I found myself turning to the one thing that seems to calm my spirit: sketching. These are a mix of photo referenced and a coffee shop client.

Have no fear of perfection—you’ll never reach it.
—Salvador Dali

Passion is the seed of fulfillment.

Some 5 and 10 minute sketches from my life drawing group. Feels good to work with some traditional tools after relying on the computer for so long.
