Starting a new sketchbook used to be a daunting task for me. I used to have a bad habit of buying one and not using it if my first drawing wasn't "perfect". I would put all this pressure on myself to christen my new sketchbook with some really nice, well drawn thing. Eventually, months would… Continue reading Breaking in a New Sketchbook; Dylan’s Daydream Doodles

Bowsette: Sexy Princess-King of the Koopas
Normally, I'm not the kind of person to follow trends. Especially when it comes to art memes on social media.

Some Older Throwbacks From One of my Smaller Sketchbooks
These days, I typically keep two sketchbooks at a time. A larger sketchbook and a smaller sketchbook. But things were different growing up.
