nighttime stories bat

i finally got started on my sketchbook project! my theme is nighttime stories. i have a small list of ideas so far… no ideas for actual stories yet, i seem to be dancing around it (unsurprisingly) and thinking about nighttime instead. moon gardens, moonburn (it exists!–apparently), a night train, a bat house. anyway, here are my inaugural pages.
