Beautiful! Can’t believe this isn’t getting more attention... it’s just stunning. Never thought I would be calling bananas stunning but this definitely calls for it
@idrawhorses Thank you for your kind words. I just joined DoodleAdicts yesterday and uploaded the bananas today. Need to find some artistic camaraderie as I am feeling a little cooped up and thought this site might be a good start. Anyway, thanks, again.
I modified the challenge a wee bit. I didn't use the same paper for the various drawings since I was using (top row, left to right) hard graphite pencils (3H to HB), watercolor pencils, (bottom row, left to right) brush pens and ballpoint pen. These media work best on very different paper textures and moisture absorbing qualities. The second picture shows the object of my study --- and the apparatus I use to hold botanical subjects. "Third hand" tools are very useful and cheap. This one was under $10 and serves my purposes well. Just FYI. (Each drawing/painting was scanned and composited in Photoshop.)

NIghtly BIC ballpoint pen doodles while watching the news. These are drawn on light weight construction paper. The reference drawings are from the book Humans of NY.

I was looking at what Pixabay might offer as inspiration, and found this fish. Perfect for a ballpoint pen drawing. The incompleted drawing in the second photo was taken before the final "glaze" of little scribbles of turquoise pen across almost the whole surface. It was a happy accident that made for a shimmery, iridescent fishy quality.

A silly frog to end the month. Prismacolor pencils on a tinted pastel paper.
