Sketches of Mine
This piece is one of mine well most of my sketches that start out with a cube and working out from that point. In the drawings are also squares and triangles as well. This one could be titled 'alien child' or anything that you think it may be. All of sketches so far have been done on this lined paper. These sketches all started off with me drawing just a regular cube and shooting off from there with triangles and squares and at times in other sketches that I plan to share circles.
