drawings for other people

Hello! It's been a while. I'm not sure what I've been up to since drawing all those portraits back in February, I think I needed a break after doing all that drawing.

Now that summertime is here and the days are longer, I've decided to try incorporating more drawing into my everyday life. One way I've been doing this is by taking the pressure off, doing mostly quick sketches and doodles. For instance, the portrait of my dad, drawn on an envelope I was mailing him last month:

Here's a postcard I made for my friend Thara (pictured on the right):

And one last drawing, for me, rendered with ballpoint pen on the styrofoam take-out containter from Uno's:




I'm moving apartments this week, but I do have more to share, so expect another post very soon!
