A collection of drawings by Michael Jackson, including never-before-seen self-portraits of himself as both an adult and a child, were auctioned off on November 9 by Julien’s Auctions. /VCG Photo

The drawings were gifted to Dr Steven M. Hoefflin, Jackson’s close friend and plastic surgeon. They were set to sell for $8,000 each, according to MetroUK. /VCG Photo

Even though nine years have passed since the King of Pop’s death, the sketches show another side of him. They date back to 1985, when he was at the peak of his career after releasing his Thriller album. /VCG Photo

The intimate artwork includes a self-portrait captioned "moi" in Jackson’s handwriting, a sketch of the artist with his sisters, Janet, Rebbie, and Latoya captioned "Growing Up with Sisters," and an outline of his hand and other doodles. Other doodles had captions like “little daydreamer” and “Toya, I love you.” /VCG Photo
