Ink Sketches

Most of my art has been done with pencil. I've used ink, oil pastels, and watercolor pencil just a little bit. The past couples months I've become excited to experiment with pen. So what follows below are sketches done with ink pens of various types and sizes.

Artists.pixelovely.com & Quickposes.com are websites that allow you to do timed exercises. You can set a timer for two minutes, for example, and at the end of two minutes, another picture will appear on the screen. So what you see at the bottom of the above picture are timed two minute sketches.

 This was drawn with a copic drawing pen that is sepia colored. I drew it over the course of about an hour and a half.

 The above is another set of timed 2 minute sketches.

I'm trying to learn how to draw different textures with pen. So I  drew these boxes with different textures.

 Above are more timed sketches.
