I've been failing to scan much so here's a bunch of sketchbook drawings. Yes I have been into drawing backpacks lately. #drawing #penandink #coloredpencil #sketchbook
A skinny character wearing a space helmet and revealing their midriff. Drawn in Red slighty brown ink. A little turquoise character with a large forehead and prominent nose holds on to his backpack straps as he walks. A little boy, drawn in red ink and some red crayon, looks worried while wearing a backpack. A little character in baggy clothes peaks out from under a large tartan cap.
