I drew this out last year and was originally supposed to be week 3 I think of Inktober 52, titled ‘Reflection’. I abandoned it for a while and then forced myself to finish it, as an exercise more than anything else. Eventually I gave up on Inktober 52, as I find it really hard to stick to a schedule these days. I changed from a fineliner 0.1 to a 0.05 part way through as you can see. My reference image was the worst ever, a black and white photocopy of a very grainy old photo of hands resting on a table. Find me on ❦ Instagram Tumblr

Many of my own plans for the year had to be shelved naturally, and life became about adapting. I was still able to pursue some of my plans, but many were not tenable, and still may not be this year. Again, it was and still is all about adapting.
