Greetings Steemians! I'm starting a sketchbook where I can still do some of my art between my packed schedules. Since doing realism now requires a lot of free time I feel like this can still be a way to retain my drawing skills 😉. This first entry is a sketch of French model and blogger Nicolas Simoes. Drawn using a Pentel Graphgear 500 Drafting Pencil (0.3mm).
