ery nice, indeed, Joe.
 
Although I have done some nice pieces in the past (that were done on Arches and took weeks), my work has been really difficult lately. Using cheap sketchbook paper in an attempt to work quickly and loosen up backfired. So often I see challenge photos on forums and feel they are too complicated or not good lighting, and then am really impressed by what others can do with them. Interpreting a subject is very difficult for me. Working on things that are not worth saving is too time consuming so I am going to try to just start over more often.

This is with a biro, or ballpoint pen, which I have never done before. It is on Canson 140CP watercolor paper sketchbook, 7 x 9. The reason it is a peach and yellow color with some scoring was b/c I had tried a challenge for another thread of some pumpkins on that paper. The attempt was so terrible I wiped the paint away and just thought I would do this quickly (for me, anyway) for Inktober and the Wildlife Challenge. It took less than 90 minutes. I also posted this in the Inktober thread.

Love your sketch, Joy. A little character.
 
thank you all .
Joy, it's a beautiful pen drawing,
Queen Bee, nice colorful drawing
 
Joe - your lion is great and I think the colour works really well 🙂

Joy - great work on the bat with the ball point! I think ballpoint is my favoirite thing for sketching with, I seem to fo much looser lines than I do with anything else. I like your re-use of the paper too.

Deborah - I just love how colourful this is. Great eye!
