Started a pencil portrait study on the weekend, but I wanted to do some fast and loose work to get back into the swing of drawing, so markers and Moleskine tonight, and my collection of Victorian and Edwardian era portraits. This is a cropped photo from my phone taken about midway through. Full finished study… Continue reading a new portrait study
I did some drawings last night for the first time in awhile. Felt good, was feeling natural again despite the need to wear specs (ugh—my continually waning close-to vision). The pen is a Pilot P-500, extra fine point. I like these pens because the ink is not waterproof, allowing for the watercolor-esque smearing.

None of… Continue reading a weekend on the upper tine
