Senior Serenity Baird arranges jeans, clay, pill bottles, and syringes to create a visual representation of addiction and generational trauma. As she worked, memories of loved ones struggling with addiction flooded her mind, fueling her determination to break the cycle.

This drawing is the introduction page of the sketchbook I’m currently working on. The character is Yamaguchi Tadashi, a character from Haikyuu. I draw him quite often since he’s one of my favorites. I like him because he is a very hard worker, and he’s always trying to improve himself. He does this not only for himself but so that he can support his friends and team. He’s very self-conscious but as time goes on he becomes more confident in his abilities. I would like to be like him.
