My First Sketchbook
PREAMBLE
It is no secret that I have been drawing my whole life, and when I say my whole life, I mean it. This sketchbook is from 2011, I drew every drawing in it when I was in kindergarten. I was drawing a lot before kindergarten as well (mostly from a set of step-by-step drawing books by Ed Emberley), but I'm fairly certain this is the first sketchbook I ever kept. I feel very lucky to still have this book, it's always so much fun to flip through. So, without further delay, here is The First Sketchbook of Ethan Thorn:

The End
Lots of empty pages in this sketchbook, some things don't change.
