Glass Jars

I decided to experiment with drawing glass in pen and ink. I have done glass before but usually in watercolor or digital.

This is about 7"x8", Sakura Micron Pen 005 in XL Mix Media Sketchbook.

Good form and shapes!

I agree with Kay. I also think that some selective darkening will bring out the highlights and form even better.

I'll take another look at the reference photo and see where I might darken a little. Thanks for the suggestion.

Excellent. Glass is very hard in ink! Beautiful to see.

Superb sketching here. Nice crosshatch work, and great shadows. Love it!

Very nice work. Pen and ink is difficult, just keep practicing on it and you will see better and better results. Well done!

This is impressive! I love the cross hatching and the impression of clear glass is so convincing.

Excellent, especially the texture of the glass. I agree about the darker values, but I realize your style is more delicate.

Great hatching work here. Good one Anne!
