So started subjects in pen and ink this morning. Day 1. Ink bottle. Not amazing but it’s a start

I think it looks great! What I enjoyed about this course is that it got me drawing with ink everyday. I did not obsessed and did them as sketches. Keep it going!

Thank you so much. Alongside subjects with ink, I’m trying to draw 6 small drawings a day, that can be 5, 10 or 15mins each which keeps me just drawing and refining 😀 they aren’t meant to be great, but in 31 days I would have done 186 pen drawings

Love the perspective, the variance in line saturation really helps too! 👏 😄
