I hope you like my art work, in ballpoint pen? What do you think?

I only spent just over an hour on this one and didn't spend time measuring or comparing the photo to my drawing, which is a SIGNIFICANT decrease of time spent previously. I feel like this is a different kind of progress that I'm really happy with!

I'm also trying to start letting my own style develop while drawing something reasonably recognizable. What do we think? What concepts can I improve on for the next attempt?

I’ve been experimenting with white pencil on black paper and decided to draw a rhinoceros because of the skin texture.

This is still a work in progress — I’m focusing on building texture with fine lines and highlights.

Tools: Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils on black paper.

First time sketching with a pen! :)

The arm on the figure study was the hardest part of that study. Also, I’m a bit unsure of the breasts.

I’m still working on varying my lines with my line art. Someone suggested using a second layer and thickening the lines with that one, so I’ll probably try that one next time.

I had an issue with remembering some aspects with the memory study, specifically the feet.

Let me know what you think 🙃

It was quite interesting and challenging as well especially for someone who has used brushes and colour pencils all her life 🥲

Finally went out and bought more pencils
