This sketch looks a bit different from my standard fare because I sketched it entirely in Illustrator. I normally do my sketchbook sketches in Photoshop, but I'm working on my old laptop while "top men" look at my old computer (there's more wrong with it than dust, it seems), and sketching in Photoshop on this thing is an exercise in "oh my GOD render faster" frustration.

Anyway, this was a sketch that, and I know this is going to sound cheesy, came from the heart. No references, no objective. I just drew what I felt. I'm not entirely certain how to describe it so that what I felt makes sense to anyone but me, but it's probably a mistake to try and explain it anyway.

It's a picture of Grace with some trees with leaves fallen from their branches. Make of that what you will.
