Line Drawings!

These two (from the same Saturday as the sketches from the trace, but not in the same style as the others, so they didn't feel right in the same post) came from a different concept. The idea I had with these was to use the pink pen, close my eyes, and draw whatever came to mind. Then, when I thought I had a basic figure down, I opened my eyes, and used whatever I had drawn to lead towards the final pictures here.

I like the seal, though it took a few... adjustments to keep him from looking wrong. (Thank you for pointing that out, Madame Beloved).


I *really* like this one, it started out as a ram (no joke) and evolved into people.

Again, sorry about the bad picture quality, and again, feedback is appreciated!

On a side note, I'm really liking how these look with the background of the page.

Impressionist Sketches

So Justin and I were hanging out on a Saturday a few weeks ago (which was a lot of fun by the way), and we spent a lot of time sketching. His preferred method is ink, and his sketches are fabulous... I think he should put some up, but he probably won't want to. Anyways, I brought along my 8-color pen set, and did a few "quick sketches". Only using each pen once, in kind of an impressionist ideal, the sketches were finished pretty quickly. I'm pretty pleased with it.




Sorry for the poor quality photos, my camera is on hiatus (aka I can't find the memory card converter to put the photos onto my computer), so all the pictures are from my phone camera (3.0 megapixels, which is not bad, but not as good as my pretty pink camera).

Feedback is always appreciated!
