I like the drawings. And as a photography fan myself, I would look at Helmut Newton or Irving Penn and like to see the initial notes or drawings, to see where the ideas grew from.

The advice I would give to any photographer - young, old or in-between - is to explore anything visual because this is, after all, how you express your artistry.
