Plan To Be a Big Deal

January 2, 2022Leave a comment

The biggest takeaway from the last year for me was to not put things off thinking that there will be time later.

I teased a small portion of this image a little while ago and now I’m happy to share the full thing. Today’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt is three things. The three drawings in this post were all created with coloured pencil and a different medium.
