I feel like sketches are just as important as the finalized pictures that I draw and publish, but are often unseen or not posted anywhere. Most of the work that I do is through the sketches I draw, from a whiteboard, post-its, a notebook, to my tablet. Below is a selection of drawings and projects that remain just a draft. Look to the text below for more information.
