Holiday Sketchbook


A couple of in progress sketches to share with you.



My ink ran dry from my black pen.  I've been using Faber-Castell Pitt artist pens.  I like them but they seem to run out of ink rather quickly.


It always surprises me how different things look after being scanned and displayed on the monitor.


I tried a crackle technique for the Virgin Mary's robe but it didn't quite crackle the way I'd hoped.


I finished At Home by Bill Bryson and learned the first bras, made by Luman Chapman, were called Puffs (1863).  Funny that.
