#240212 Practice / study drawings. RSB sketchbook. HB mechanical pencil. Various refs. among them Loomis, Woodward and Michael Hampton.
I’m taking the Drawing Basics course, and I’m trying to get into the habit of drawing as often as possible. I’ll try to do my best to organize my time better so I can at least do 1 sketch per day. When in doubt of what to draw to practice, I choose cats.

Yes, there are Loomis Heads. These, however, are Nolan Heads. I've attached the cover of Bill Nolan's book along with my attempts at inking with a brush pen.

Sketch Journal pages 6 & 7.
I'm sure glad this thread exists because I like to post now and then, but getting through some of the tutorial videos takes me a while (I'm presently working my way through Drawing Basics' Draw Any Pose From Any Angle).
Anyway, still working out the whole Ink Thing. Page 6 is messing with a few extremes.
Page 7 is a drawing from life highly idealized.

Sketch Journal page 5: The Lounge.
This critique video on Dynamic Shapes is really long. So how's about another sketch page?
The sketchbook I've chosen for my Sketch Journal is littered with old drawings. Page 5 is such an example. A while back I was sitting in a lounge and began sketching what I saw. I later made a watercolor illustration from the sketch. Attached are the original sketch and the resultant painting. I spruced up the sketch with some ink and watercolor pencil for this post.
My favorite part is the guy in the back nursing a glass of rye. The rest needs help, but I've no idea what form that help would be. So, any suggestions, including layout, would be appreciated.

Sketch Journal page 4: Three Guys In Ink.
While working on getting through another critique video, I thought I'd submit another page from the Sketch Journal. The thing about sketching in ink is, there are no erasers — so there's no wrong lines. Just lines you haven't figured out how to incorporate yet. Also, you'll note I tried my hand at the Uni Posca White ink pen. *ooh boy* Tricky business.
So, if there's any brave souls out there who know a thing or three about ink without under drawing first, I'd be grateful any suggestions.

Everyday I wake up, open my journal, and start writing: no plan, no inspiration, no anxiety. I don’t only write what I think I can write well. I just write.
I would like to do that with art.
