Inoue Trail

If there’s one thing I really hate to draw and paint … it’s landscapes. I feel like I can go crazy if I were to draw an outdoor scene. Whenever I look at a photo of a scenery, my brain goes into overload. My eyes cannot handle the various textures and details. I have yet [...]

in Graphite, Sketches
