private drawings such as sketches, portraits and various handmade drawings. Due to the fact that it is not possible to hide folders, I decided to use this form of collecting my works

Okay. First journal entry in almost a year...
Hi! I'm not dead!!
I've been writing a book! I am finished with the second draft and taking a break for about a month before I begin the third draft which is a major rewrite. But you guys don't need to know all about that... you want to know about art!
So, anyway. I've been meeting up with an artsy friend on Tuesday's and spending about 3 hours drawing.

All images and code are copyrighted to Jennifer Leigh, and no use out of DA is allowed. I will have the line art available soon so you can customize to your hearts content if you want. I've removed the mood icon/listening/watching/etc because I don't like coding them. If you want to put them back in, go for it. I don't know what I did honestly.
