These are so good. As are the rest of your sketches! What do you do for a living? Art director?

Aw. Thanks very much.
I wish I was an art director I'm currently a kids sports coach (2 - 6 year old) but no teaching beacuse of Covid. I've always drawn and doodled something Ive always enjoyed.

keep up the doodling

@Rich_G just wanted to second that I love your style. Those dinosaurs are ace.

Thanks all. Much appreciated 👍😊

LOL, such a good idea! Love it.
