A long story
It's Hayden's Skyscraper National Park songs lyrics. I illustrated the whole album and wrote all the lyrics by hand. I started it last year as far as I remember. After a long break (about several months) I decided to finish it. In fact I think nothing can be worse than a long-drawn project. Except an unfinished one.
Now I can see all the mistakes I made while I was drawing the first half of it and desperately want to redo all the work again.

This is so beautiful, Irina! I love the limited color palette brings out the sketchy feel of the project.

I remember our swap, Giulia, yes! Thank you for reminder!
Amy, you're right. I didn't have any pre-sketches or smth. May be that's why I want to redo it:)
