Illustrations from the Old Days

Here are a variety of illustrations from my high school days. I'd like to think I'm able to draw in all kinds of styles, or a few different ones anyway. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the drawing, you need to use soft edges, and sometimes, dark and thick outlines to make your drawing scream louder. You can draw a rose to look soft and realistic on one occasion, and draw another with thick outlines, sharp edges, in a much more abstract form.
