After last night's blog, many pictures kept popping up in my head. When I woke up this morning, this picture was alive and was demanding me to sketch it right away.
I took some 20 minutes to sketch it. The exciting thing about this sketch is that I used a fountain pen, the old-styled calligraphy pen which one has to keep dipping in ink while writing. The feeling while drawing was awesome. I was amazed by how long the nib could hold the ink...
This sketch impressed me on how much I have improved on figure drawing. I managed to draw clean lines in one go, and nice proportions. Yes, there were two mistakes that are obvious to me. First, the ink bled near the elbow. A note to self to be careful about bleeding for ink pen drawing. I did forget to sketch the fingers initially, but I would consider that a minor mistake. Looks like the MFA drawing sessions and Urban sketchers Boston Meetup are doing their magic !
Feeling the pressure tonight, and the want to give up is lurking somewhere close ... Tomorrow, do not let me disappoint you :)
Excellent improvement. Keep learning. Your drawings connect my mind to my heart.
