This is a collection of posts documenting my drawing style before and after a concussion I suffered while playing soccer. The initial images below, mostly sketches in pencil, show my art prior to the concussion. There is a post dated with the day of the concussion so you understand when the concussion happened in the art timeline. You can follow me on my path to recovery, and how my art changes over time.
