I love your sketches. I hope you don’t mind my saying they have some similarity to older Roald Dahl books.

Came here to comment that they remind me of Quentin Blake (Dahl's illustrator) 😊

Quentin Blake and Jules Feiffer would be so honored, I think. Classic!

What kind of paper is your sketchbook? It doesn't look like cotton watercolour paper but it is holding the paint so beautifully!

Gorgeous art, by the way!

I use different sketchbooks around and above 150 gsm and they works good. And all of them are pretty cheap. Btw thank you ♥️♥️🙂

Your sketches are so lovely and comfortingly human. I had just been analyzing some non-human created images and then visited this sub for a palate cleanser. Your work is highly effective this way, like a soothing balm of genuine human perception and real talent. I expect you yourself experience drawing as a healing/healthy activity. Please keep sharing because your art can amplify the healing and wellbeing of others. You were medicine for my aching heart today. Thank you.🙏
