I sincerely regret that I never finished this book. It’s pale blue cover bisected by an inky line charms me. Examining the horizon through wahat is above and below, the cover is the only thing that recalls a vista. After drawing the first page I left the others blank seeking inspiration elsewhere. Blank pages remain, traces of guiding lines across their surface, squares drawn up never to be filled. I wish it were complete but my drawing has progressed so far that I would have to begin the first two again should I continue it. They are less than my ability now but I can’t bring myself to replace or dispose of them. So the book remains undone.
Looking down from above, something begins to take form.

I like your drawing and these 2 are really good. Proportionally you could do another 4 on the right hand pages only and then it would be complete. I know what you mean though leaving too long a gap before finishing can mean your now almost a different artist and a project can loose it’s cohesiveness. This might sound a bit silly but the uncohesiveness could be interesting tho if you put it away and then decided to finish it when your 40 or 60.
