Some simple studies (of varying degrees of quality heh) of a film I have a very soft spot for! I want to do a more involved illustration in the future!!
I’ve had fiction writer’s block for way too long, but reading this helped… I think.
I read this and realized I hadn’t listened to any Tribe Called Quest in way too long so I loaded a playlist while I took a bath and it’s my new form of self care.
