Another chair, this time in ink. This was the first drawing I did using Micron pens, or any pens at all. It definitely illustrated how different pens were in comparison to pencils and charcoal, which I'm a bit more comfortable using. However, I love the end effect that pens have, especially in combination with watercolor, so my sketchbook will have lots of pen and ink drawings. My crosshatching and everything definitely has room for improvement, but I think I captured the essence of the chair nonetheless. With many of my drawings, especially ones I struggled with, I often write a bit of commentary about what I learned to do/not to do. It may be a bit cheesy, but I figure that my sketchbook is for me and is for me to learn so it doesn't have to all be archival quality. I really agree with the idea that your sketchbook should be somewhere you feel safe to experiment, to go crazy, and try and fail without feelings of shame.
