NSFW. . . There are so many different things in this world I find beautiful.
I'm looking at the fact that I can sell works on paper, especially drawing now as a real blessing. There are so many themes and ideas that I can explore in a drawing that I don't think I would feel as free to study in oil or acrylic. I love the feel of the rough paper and the thick blocky crayons. The scratchy sound as the litho pencils shhhhhhshhhhs across the paper.

Rembrandt and His Wash Drawings
I really love the wash drawings that Rembrandt made. I think that there is a very modern kind of esthetic to them. They are very gestural and about line quality.
The handling of wash materials is incredible.
The subjects of his drawings range from simple genre scenes to biblical stories.
These drawings have inspired me so much I made some for myself. Of course I'm no Rembrandt but I can learn from him. Here are some of my attempts at it:
