mica-low:

Scanned some sketches from the past two days; I used prismacolor markers for the top three, and graphite on the cicadas. All done from observation either while playing D&D (shell and cicadas) or while in class (skull and tree trunk), so not my most focused work ever, but I’m fond of all of these.
