essay :3

Visual art, illustration, drawing, cartoons, comics, and sketches are a form of escape for me, escapism. It’s the one thing that comes a bit more naturally for me, as untrained as I am at it. I’m not a trained artist, and so I often draw in a childlike, “flat,” one-dimensional manner. But as bad as…
