#sketch: ink and dip pen

A couple experiments with dip pen and ink. Black and colour ink.

Woman close-up, black ink and a few colours, spread with a water brush pen. Not happy yet, but it was fun!

A small bouquet of roses, black ink, colour pens, spread with a water brush pen. I love the flowers, but hate the watercolour smears! Oh well, next time I’ll use less colour ink.

#sketch: Baby Adrien asleep

Santa brought me a sketchbook and compressed charcoal pencils (soft, medium, hard) that I wanted to try today. I settled for the photo Vlad took of Adrien moments after he was born, still wrinkled and puffy, but fast asleep. It’s my second or so drawing made with this medium and took me a couple hours.

Made on paper (A5) with charcoal and white pastel..
