The Importance of Drawing for Oneself


A little over a month ago, I was visiting a friend in Sacramento for the weekend to attend an anime convention. Between roaming around dressed as a cat or a Heartless, we often went around the city to go shopping, and there I found a wonderful moleskin sketchbook bound with a leather strap. It was designed to look like one of those old travel journals, and I could not help but draw this near the cover.

Aside from some rendering reference from a favorite dragon artist of mine, this was completely done from my imagination, with no fucks given as to whether the composition was nice or whether were was twinning going on or other such things.

I gotta say, even though I didn't like this one bit during the time I was drawing it and for a few days after, I admit that I actually like it a lot.

Damn, I miss being able to just draw freely.
