Drawing Gallery (First Year)

These are all the drawings I made during my first year project. I always used pen and a standard sheet of printer paper. For the first 50 or so drawings, I used personal suggestions for inspiration and then I moved on to using word-of-the-day websites. I also started doing my own absurd comics on Sundays. Enjoy!

To clarify, this is the format of each title:
