I am tired of drawing people looking at their phones, so I am replacing people's phones with random animals. Like for this cool lady, I saw at the Met Museum!

Traditional drawing

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

These are a few pages from my DA sketchbook that I filled using only a blue pen and a red and a blue highlighter.

Run away, my dear child. Don't let anyone stop you.

I found an old book of sheet music. I think it makes for a nice background. The marks are simple here but I like the overall big gestures.

Cute doodle pattern I made for an upcoming collection. More to come!
