Lots of new for me with this drawing....it's my first original and while it isn't amazing, I'm pretty pleased. I usually do front on portrait style so the face is only so-so but I'm happy with the scale of the body. I do need to work more on doing full body drawings though.

Life kind of got stagnant for a while but this summer while redoing our home (which is still an ungoing process) I've become excited to change parts of my life too.
