Trying a new medium 🖊️

I'm having a break from watercolor paintings and this time I'm using pencils :)

Using this medium was quite new to me. Honestly, there's a lot of techniques I'm dying to learn to using this medium. But among those techniques, this kind of art is what I'm really captivated to.

I'm seeing a lot of great artist who draws and sketches and I admire their skills. I'm hoping I can be like them :)

There's a lot to explore in the world of art :) let's all keep exploring :)
