There's nothing better than a morning warm-up routine—a hot cup of coffee, a pencil, and a blank page or screen. It's my favorite way to loosen up, explore new ideas, and simply enjoy the act of drawing.

These sketches are a mix of doodles, observations, character ideas, and whatever happens to come to mind. Some grow into finished artwork, while others stay just as they are—and that's part of the fun.

Thanks for taking a look behind the scenes at the pages where it all begins.
