I did this sketch a little while after the song I wrote for a girl I was into during the early part of 2017. I was going through a rough time then and was quite literally losing my mind. The only thing that could keep me even relatively happy/sane was spending my time making sure this sketch was perfect.

After four days of intense focus on this sketch, I finished it a few days before I was to return to school from spring break. The plan was to give her the sketch on the first day back to school, but that never happened. Like I said, I was at a very depressed time in my life and I spent two weeks in a hospital from a car wreck before I saw her again. When I did she came running out of nowhere and jumped on me with her arms wrapped around me.

What you can't see in the picture is that just below the sketch it said "Thanks for hugging me when no one else would". I don't know why but before I liked her she would just randomly hug me everyother day in the school hallway. I always looked forward to it even if it didn't seem that way at times.

This sketch easily took me over 25 hours to make but it was well worth it.
