I would not consider myself an artist, but I do have quite a few sketchbooks lying around. The one I keep hidden most of the time has some of my favorite pieces. While I believe everyone has some side hobby that they do not put a lot of time into, rather it is more of a creative outlet. Therefore, to kick this off: Here is a peek inside of my sketchbook.

This is drawn with pointillism style. I was really trying to blend different colors and collage different objects that normally are not shown together.

This is a unique split of a circle showing the relationship between the sun and the moon. The text around the circle reminisces with me. I have always wanted someone in my life that would be looking out for and supporting me. Someone that metaphorically "dies every night, just to let [me] breathe".

Of course, a universal message that has a lot of meaning is in my book. My personal style of drawing usually involves some sort of collage meshing objects that normally do not go together.

This is one of my favorites as well. Initially, I think of this as an edgy rose made of glass with shards extruding from the bottom as well. In another similar sense, it is made of metal with rugged edges. Either way, I saw it as something that is beautiful but rough at the same time, something hurting.

Finally, this butterfly's asymmetric design calms my OCD! Also, butterflies have interesting colors with really cool patterns that are purely part of nature's evolution. I usually think of butterflies connecting with purity and hope, along with a reminder to think about our actions before committing them (the butterfly effect).

Now don't be afraid to show off your art or express yourself! Show off your hobbies and interests without fear!
