pen and ink

A drawing which required some sharpening of a mechanical pencil. Just to get that needle-sharp drawing tool. I'm not the only one doing this, right?

Sorry not sorry.

Twinkle, a beautiful ginger tabby.

Border Terrier. Beautiful little lady called Berry.

We all come from different places and I wish I could visit them all.

A close friend recently lost their family pet, Joey. As a tribute gift, I did his portrait. I usually just draw people, so this presented quite the challenge for me. I have never attempted to draw animals/pets. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

Not a famous quote per se (as requested for this week's prompt), but my own little phrase I often think about and consider.

Not finished yet! The curliest dog I've ever done!

Dearly little man! That face! Another pet commission!

Sketching these two dogs in my sketchbook by pen and ink.

Swanky cats was a commission I did recently. The image is A3 and was sooooo much fun to do!

This one is a big'un! A3! 13 hours so far and still a way to go. I do love the curly hairy ones!

A naughty cat by all accounts!

Gentleman Cat was modelled on a victorian oil painting with a special family cat as the star of the show! Part of a pair for a special Christmas present.

First drawing of my serie of animals at their hides. Sketch and final drawing

My final entry for Stage 3 of the doodle addicts challenge! I have loved doing these challenges. They have not only got me drawing things I wouldn't have considered off my own back, but they have brought me out of my comfort zone too. Drawing steam is harder than I thought!!!

Part of a series of drawings following characters on a journey through strange and chaotic zones of a gigantic metropolis. I really enjoyed using the Sakura brush pen for this one.

Drawing homes is my new form of meditation. I get lost in building the structure slowly, line after line. I could do this forever...
