Maybe the breaks is one thing, since Brenda Swenson really emphasizes that, and hers are beautiful. Maybe also accuracy, depth and perspective, all areas in which I could improve mightily. But cartoony or not, I still enjoy drawing with pen. I still use pencil if I'm painting a "serious" piece, but I love the wonkiness introduced by the pen, too.Melliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095407632265293378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774592350363325960.post-39999548989792441142014-01-20T11:30:21.684-08:002014-01-20T11:30:21.684-08:00I started doing it after taking a workshop from Br...I started doing it after taking a workshop from Brenda Swenson, and your comment about it being freeing is exactly right--you can't erase, you can't rethink, so you have to do two things: Look really carefully, and then commit.Melliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095407632265293378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774592350363325960.post-9058513524150836632014-01-20T11:28:42.101-08:002014-01-20T11:28:42.101-08:00Thanks, Dan!

But even when I think about that as I draw...I still cannot make them. So...I usually use pencil. Not really the way to learn, is it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774592350363325960.post-46692182028264005882014-01-19T07:45:24.873-08:002014-01-19T07:45:24.873-08:00I also love this sketch.
