Really nice work! I haven’t tried pen and ink yet as a medium. I like mediums that will erase as I typically still need to make too many adjustments as I draw. But, I really like the looks of pen and ink and would like to try it down the road.

The water translated so well to pen and ink. Good choice of medium for this work. I am trying Matt’s live lesson pen and ink. Maybe above my skill level but fun in any case.  
Well done here!
