i sketch mostly from pictures I've seen, and most often use pencil and pen. occasionally, i'll bust out the acrylics. i like using any medium that i can get my hands on >:)

if you see any redacted lines it's because i usually sketch in my journal (it's pretty much always on hand.) if its not redacted, it's usually because i'm talking about the art itself.

a huge and ongoing list, by category

note: lot of the historical folks are dead, obv, and also of iffy politics. when i say favorite i'm speaking of style.

lineart!
