pen and ink

Did this doodle while working at my vendor's booth at the local Country Market.

Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper. A breakdown of the Bic4 pen and No-name 10 colour pen layering that I’ve used. Drawing in a single direction instead of using back-and-forth movement alleviates some of the blotching that happens when using ballpoint pens. The back-and-forth method usually deposits the gunk that builds up on the tip of the ballpoint, smearing them in unexpected and unfortunate places on the drawing. When using the back-and-forth method, I usually have a napkin handy in order to clean the tip of the pen. Model: Meadhbh (Maeve)

A few of my sketchbooks, combing through some older concepts.

I missed Inktober so I'm doing my own

a drawing from my sketchbook

BIC ballpoint stick pen drawing on Richeson bulk drawing paper. This started as a contour drawing and just got squiggly (not the original intent). This was clipped to my board for weeks and I would add a few squiggles from time to time when I wanted to make marks, but didn't have inspiration. It's just a bit under 15 inches (12x18 inch paper) and is probably about 25 hours of making little lines and squiggles. The reference was a Dreamstime royalty-free photo.

This a ball-point pen drawing done with a black BIC-Stick pen. Based on a Pixel photo reference of a Harpy Eagle.

The lovely Leo. Drawn with 0.93 and 0.05 fineliners on smooth A4 cartridge.

To do list. I usually hate them but this one was kind of fun.

Pen and ink drawing and who doesn't like a pretty girl?

I love drawing old houses. I started this sitting in my car and later finished drawing the details in while in my studio.

Meet Jerry Jr., the cheeseburger creature. He's sort of a slug, sort of a salamander, sort of just happy with where he is in life.

This is the other half of Return of the Polar Bear, a drawing in my moleskine. It is after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist from the 16th century. I began it as a way to try out his intricate use of line and hatching. The subject matter altered some along the way - his etching didn't have any animals, and of course mine had to be all about the animals. I also simplified. It turned out to be a wonderful lesson.
