Liam Payne's impressive sketches have been shared by a pal shortly after the singer's tragic death.
The ex-One Direction member died at 31 after falling from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16. The dad-of-one was awaiting the renewal of his US visa so he could head back to Florida, where he'd recently relocated with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
The 25 year old influencer had been in South America with Liam until just days before he passed. Their journey, which included attending Liam's former bandmate Niall Horan's gig in Buenos Aires, was initially planned for five days but extended to two weeks, and she eventually flew back home solo.

Liam's death has left his loved ones and fans devastated, and over the past 10 days, numerous tributes have poured in for him on social media. Among those paying tribute to Liam is singer Jamie Scott, who co-wrote "Night Changes" with One Direction.
In his touching Instagram tribute, 40-year-old Jamie admitted feeling "lost" following Liam's departure as he reflected on their bond, stating that the singer was "always present" for him despite their demanding careers. Jamie described Liam as "funny" with "the biggest heart, the cheekiest laugh.", reports the Mirror.
Jamie also praised Liam's "amazing" drawings. He unveiled some of Liam's previously unseen sketches, highlighting the late singer's love for art.
The monochrome drawings, displayed on a table, include an image of a Formula One car. Although it's thought that Liam never publicly shared these artworks, the signature on them matches his own.
Jamie also posted pictures of himself with Liam, their partners, and one featuring the singer cradling his friend's child. He penned: "Dearest Liam, I'm lost today. We met at your first ever recording session, and from that moment on we became brothers."
"Over the years you became part of my family. It's hard to say that people in this industry become true best friends as lives are always busy and lots of people come and go, but you were an exception. Always there for me, always present, always kind."
"You had the biggest heart, the cheekiest laugh and were so funny. I would always look forward to seeing you cos I knew I'd be laughing all day. I'm so so sorry this world let you down. Me, Cat and the kids will miss you forever. I hope you know how much joy you gave people."
Jamie continued: "I want you to know I had some of the most fun making this last album with you and it lifted my world to be around you so much. I know you are at peace now, you deserve to be. And I can imagine you looking down on us doing all the things that really made you you."
"Your amazing drawings, coming up with a million ideas a day, singing to your hearts content, making people smile and laugh. I hope you are getting to do all those things now in peace. All our thoughts are with Karen, Geoff, Nicola, Ruth and your gorgeous boy Bear."
He concluded: "I'll miss you every day. Rest Well brother. xxx." Fans rushed to the comments to thank Jamie for his tribute and for support Liam. "Thank you for being such a good friend for him, especially the last few months while making his album," wrote one. "
"I really hope we'll get to hear the work he poured his heart into while working with you for this one last album."
Another requested: "Please please find a way to release this album that Liam poured his heart and soul into. He gave it everything I know, and he deserves to have it out here in the world to be loved. Proceeds could benefit his favourite charity, or his dear family. Please try."
Another said: "You created such incredible music together, with Teardrops being a truly special one. We will miss Liam forever."
Thank you for being his friend. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as Liam. I'm sorry for your loss."
