Well done. Nice sensitive line work.

Well done on both of these.

Nice work, some very elegant lines and good shading. One a day for a month is quite a challenge. Good luck with the rest of the month!

thanks so much folks!

i feel such shame for not following through on my own challenge.

so 3 poses at a time will help me catch up?

fountain pen on 6 x 9" mixed media paper
learned another fountain pen lessen today. make sure the pen is full of ink before starting a piece. i had to fill it mid sketch and the line quality changed, went from nice fine lines to real juicy ones. fortunately i had already completed most of the hatching.

Nice drawings

 

[Artyczar]

Wonderful Michael. Great pose!

These are all soooo good! We will tag along to watch your progress.
Yesterday on Black Friday, Sktchy ran a special discount for their January class (a portrait a day) so signed up again for that. Have you ever done that one?
