Floodlights and Goalposts

An online commonplace book

Unfinished drawings

Once in a while I feel like leaving a drawing unfinished. So that years later it can show me or someone else how I came to draw these pictures in the first place. And also because I’ve suddenly noticed the drawing below looks pretty enough in its unfinished form.

As read from Memories of Distant Mountains – Illustrated Notebooks, 2009-2022

Beautiful book.

No regrets, no remorse, no re-anything, for buying this one. Every page an invitation to keep drawing.
