What I drew in a week (while working full-time)
What does realistic art progress look like when you’re learning on the side with a full-time job? In this video I share what I drew in a week across three sketchbooks, using ballpoint pen, graphite and charcoal pencil. Stuff I drew including skulls, landscape, food, portrait and facial features.
