Somehow I missed posting yesterday's Inktober sketch, so I'll do two today.
This was sketched by the Sayville dock using a stick (really a chopstick that I had whittled to a point). I wanted to see if I got better results using the narrow tip than I had been getting with the original twig I was using. The jury is still out. lol

This was sketched in the Conservancy Garden in Central Park and is part of a sculpture around a fountain there. I used my preppie pen with permanent ink as well as my Elegant Writed to get some bleeding for shading.
What a cute fountain! I bet lots of people get a laugh when they see it for the first time. I like your attempts to find different things to use as pens - this sketch turned out well. Good going Joan!
ReplyDeleteDear Joan I am catching up on all your ink sketches. They are all wonderful and of such a great variety. Your watercolor of the blue house is so lovely. The orange tree really makes a lovely compliment. Your scooter vespa made me smile. My hubby will enjoy this one. Your fall scene with the red umbrella is super. Great landscapes using a twig. Just proves it is never the instrument that makes a beautiful drawing but the vision of the artist. Did a great job capturing the chickens. I don't know how you do this with them moving all about. As always I so enjoy seeing your sketches of people. Like what you did with the elegant writer adds a softness to the sketches. Will be looking forward to more drawings in the coming week. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteThanks Val! I left off the other two ladies in the fountain.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks so much. Love reading your comments about all my sketches.
