Really enjoying this smaller sketchbook. I am finding it much easier to pick up and draw in it without a bunch of planning or prepwork.

I give you the most epic 12 days of Christmas ever committed to paper... And if anyone knows who wrote it (presumably back in 1974), please tell me! My dad enjoyed it in the form of a basic computer program in the 1980s; this copy's chez Newberry! (MS Hindman) 🧵
