Old ink drawings

While going through some old papers, I came across a handful of old sketches I’d done years ago—drawings I hadn't even remembered making. They’d been tucked away all this time!

They are traditional black-and-white ink drawings, created with disposable Staedtler technical pens. Back then, we used to call these pens "Rotrings," though that was actually just the brand name we were required to use in high school art class. That wretched contraption was refillable and would spew excess ink with every stroke, causing the teacher to immediately reject our assignment and force us to start over from scratch. After high school, I discovered disposable technical pens and—well—let's just say I had some choice words for that teacher's entire honorable lineage...

Anyway... Back then, I enjoyed practicing black-and-white drawing using animal photos from wildlife books and monsters from comic book panels as references. I chose to draw monsters instead of people because any mistake is magically disguised when you're drawing monsters XD.
