This is what I was drawing a year before I joined Steem

This morning I saw my old notebook on the piano. It was from early 2017, exactly a year before I came to Steem. I was surprised to find these drawings with some animals in them. With each animal, I drew a question, an idea or an observation that was bothering me throughout the day. It's like an early form of comics before Pinky and Spiky were even conceived although you can see some hedgehogs and a pig in there too.

I got the idea of drawing animals with a sentence from the genius comic artist Lynda Barry without whose teachings my comics simply wouldn't exist. By the way, she has just published her new book "Making Comics". I pre-ordered it several weeks ago and looking forward to studying from it soon.

So anyway, all of these drawings were colored with an old 24 color oil pastel kit which I still keep in my room and sometimes use for my Pinky and Spiky comics if I happen to draw late at night in my bed.

Curiously this is a mini notebook from the world-renown German music publisher Baerenreiter which has produced many important organ scores as well. I bought this notebook at the music store here in Vilnius with the hope of using for my sketches of musical compositions and other notes. But as you can see bellow, I found a different use for them.

Let me know what you think.
