14. Graphite and charcoal drawings have always been my favorites

Even when I look at Da Vinci’s work I prefer his drawings much more than his paintings. There’s something much more compelling to me about drawings. It’s always puzzled me why people seem to be dismissive of drawings, like somehow they aren’t important.

I miss life drawing too. There isn’t anything that can take its place.
