The real Virginia; master at work.The beginner's Virginia; lots to learn.
I look forward to learning how to add color, perspective, etc. etc. etc. in the months to come. I've got some talented friends to learn from. Thanks to my new island sketching buddies. Next stop, watercolors... and when I really get brave - all those cool crazy pens Kris uses!!
Very cool, Lisbeth! Love it. You already have your own style.
ReplyDeleteFabulous drawing, Lisbeth! Tools shmools! Grab a chunk of charcoal out of the woodstove.
ReplyDeleteGot my new pens and case yesterday. I had a moment of panic because I couldn't see how to make the brush pens work and I am VERY impatient - all instructions in Japanese. But you can find anything online now so I got them going. So far, I've only used the Pentel Tradio fountain pen and I really AM making better sketches with it. It flows so nicely - I'm making fewer and more elegant lines, less shading and crosshatching.
ReplyDeleteCool! Do post! The Tradio got great reviews. There is something to the feel of a good pen.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm trying out the brush pens. I'm a maniac. Doing 5 second blind contour drawings of a cat that won't hold still.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I'm working on a piece of... Never mind.
ReplyDeleteThe brush pens are going to be great for the figure drawing on Saturday. So glad this stuff came before then.
ReplyDeleteI request a 5 - 10 minute show & tell next wednesday, please.
ReplyDeleteYes! Cats are so liquid. Like the brush pen.
