Description I am sooo behind in posting art here on DA - so let's kick off an art spree with a sketch! This is from my sketch journal - it's been great having a place where I can actually jot down ideas!

Created with chalk and charcoal on Strathmore 400 series paper.

different from your usual style, 
but I love the flowing lines!

Definitely different! I haven't taken much time to sketch and doodle these past few years but I'm really enjoying the chance to be loose and expressive. It's refreshing after working on a very technical commission

I think I can see that, it looks really "free"... and if you enjoy it, it's awesome!

Lovely!  She could look like a Disney princess!  Did you use a reference from some picture?

Aww thank you!
I don't like using references in my sketch journal, actually. I use references for commissions all the time so it's really nice to break away from that and just draw what's in my head.

Ahh yeah I see what you mean.  You should post sketch journals more often, they have a looser relaxed quality that's different from your usual commissions

Thank you! I'm planning to, actually! I have a few more ready to share and I'm doing pretty good about regularly drawing in my sketch journal. It's very freeing and relaxing and I'm thrilled you like seeing them!
