Thanks again! Well, the thing people don't seem to realize when they draw is that our eyes are able to pick out a crazy amount of detail and we instinctively know when something doesn't seem right, when the tiniest of lines goes in the wrong direction, like spotting a dog hair on a pillow. If your style is rough, stay consistent to the style and to the subject. If your style is smooth detail it has to be consistent with the surface of the object and its shape. Really, it's just practice and paying attention to detail. Practice measuring things with your eyes. Use a pencil to measure first and then try measuring without any tools. You'll develop your own style in the process too.
I love doing pen work. Might do an entire children's book in this style. Maybe faded colours.

This was a little watercolour I did for a novel called Flight.

Done mostly with oil bar, this is more akin to a sketch than a painting. It's great when you can get loose with the process and end up with something that looks like a finished work.

@misti Hello Misti, thanks so much. I love working with pencils. I hope to do an entire children's book with all pencil drawings one day.
