Sketchbook Dump, 2018
While I didn't sit down and make many complete pieces in 2018, I brought my sketchbook with me everywhere, and managed to draw a lot anyway.
Co-op at Cruise, San Francisco, January-April
I took up the habit of sketching regularly this term, and also got the other co-op student on my team on board.
