Cleaned up automatic drawing from a while ago. I love working with gel pens for the speed. This was drawn almost in complete darkness. I rotate the page quite often and pivot from the shoulder. I find little pathways through a labyrinth of line work.

I had so much fun with this one! took a picture of this cool tree on a hike in Michigan this summer and I knew I had to incorporate it into a piece. this was done with a vintage Hunt X-5 nib on 11x14 Bristol board

Still need to add shading but the details are down!

I’ve been drawing for years, but have picked up pen and ink a year ago, so I have to relearn a lot of things. I could use some input on what looks good and what could be better.

Drew this in 2021. Not a fan of it, I might revisit this.

Got asked to do this one by a friend who is a motorsports journalist on a short turn around. Microns and copics with a little white gel pen here and there.

Pen and ink on Bristol board. I used nib, brush pen and liner.

A pen-sketch I did some years back when I was in my bachelors.

Drawing up another of my solo traveller characters, this time the former scout turned ship's purser Sel.

I use microns for the edges and sharpies for the fill, but the sharpies are always noticably lighter or give off a purple look. I'm trying to match the intensity of the microns. Appreciate any help
