Mucking about with pens and pencils

[fluffyllama]

Okay, so if you look please bear in mind that 1. these are supposed to be quick sketches to gather inspiration rather than finished drawings, 2. I can count the number of things I've drawn rather than doodled on one hand in the last couple of decades, and 3. drawing actual things rather than stuff in my head was never my strong point.

First mini assignment on my course (as in, the first things I'm required to submit.)

They are supposed to be inspiration gathering (along with photos) for the theme of nature vs. man-made things and structures, so there's the creeper on the wall (I hate the crappy sketch, but it still gave me ideas and there's a similar thing working much better with pastels already), part of the same plant twisting around a shiny cable, stuff growing on a trellis against the fence, and a weed between the paving stones on my patio. Sadly this theme is all too appropriate for my garden wilderness.

Submitting these to my tutor was NERVEWRACKING. I'd forgotten that part of studying something!

Heyyyy pretty! I like the coloured one, too. The only thing I'd add would be some thicker lines too, so that there's variation there, but other than that... ♥ ♥ ♥

Hey, you are good. ;) I love these! They look beautiful and very life-like.

I seem to remember a drawing of Prongs you posted some years ago? And I seem to remember it was a lovely picture as well. :)
