Start of the school year
Somewhat present
Trying out different textures and shapes
Trying to do more color with my work.... actually going to take up painting sometime.
I always crack up with these shape doodles when I draw a dick COMPLETELY by accident, I SWEAR.
So a lot that I've been doing in this sketchbook have been doodles and I like a lot of them but then I saw what Dave Mckean was doing in HIS SKETCHBOOK:

It totally was bringing my shit to shame, so lately I've been trying (mostly in the moleskine, I still doodle in my throwaway sketchbook) to make my sketches at least visually more interesting or trying to add narrative/type here and there.
#Inktober
Ballpoint is THE SHIT (might've lost the pen and now I am immediately sad...)
The progress that I am currently seeing in my friends and myself have been extremely exciting, inspiring, and motivating to keep going forward with sketching (sometimes over school projects), I don't know where I'm headed with all this work but I like how organic and unforced the style is going, whatever that style is. For those that are artists struggling with style (myself included) just do what you like, try to do things that you find interesting (both media and content-wise). I want to get into collage and water/goache sometime soon.
The rest will come. You'll be alright.
