Okay, so as I have mentioned in my prospectus I [used to be] an artist. It's been ages since I've picked up a pencil or any other held medium to do anything artsy, and it's likely going to be a lot longer now than I thought it was going to me...and there's a good reason for that, but I'll get into that in a future blog entry. Anyway, back in High School my art teacher had us students keep a sketchbook and would expect a quota by a certain date, it was easy to do one a day but sometimes I did batches just in case I got inundated with homework or studying, I could devote myself to doing that instead of working on art. I do really miss sketching, as it was quite cathartic. Thing is, sketching is one the easiest means of pursuing art...so while I wait to get back to doing art in other forms at least in the mean time I can sketch on a regular basis.
Anyway, while I am struggling to start getting back to sketching I thought I would share some of the sketches from my old HS sketchbook. I have no idea how many parts there are going to be to this series, but I'll do my best not to flood the blog with entries from this series...I'll try to only do one every couple of weeks.

As you can see, I took inspiration from weapons and everyday objects. This was a period of my life where I was smitten with TTRPGs, especially Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition. As a matter of fact, if you are familiar with the game, the artwork here should be nostalgic. Some of the inspiration I got for my sketches came out of various AD&D gaming books. That's it for this look into my sketchbook, stay tuned for the next one!
