Hello everyone! How are you all doing? 🌞

I'm doing well. I thought I'd do a brief post on what I did today. The weather over here is warm - the spring has arrived, a bit late, but it arrived! Which means, it's time to stretch my drawing skill by practicing what I see outdoor!

My goal is to draw more often (I paint too much), faster, and more accurate.

That's why I chose to work with ink and fountain pen. I can't erase my own mistakes. This approach, I believe, helps me to observe better on what I can do to improve it and to be more honest with myself that way. Strange maybe, but it works. Is it same for you? Please share!

Anyways, enough of talking, here's my sketch.

Dandelions and Garlic Chives done with Noodler's Creaper Fountain Pen and Private Reserve Ink Sepia

Also here's a peek of my future article with this note I've been taking.... yup, it'll be about color theory and what I have learned from my experiences and experiments. I'll do traditional charts by hand. Let's hope I'll pull it off successfully! ;)

Thank you for checking it out! Feel free to leave a comment. 😀 Also...
Artists, please feel free to join me! Only way to get better is by practicing so... let's do it! #drawingexercise

Cheers!

You may want to look up @thermoplastic - he runs a Visionary Art site and knows a ton of artists.

I love your lettering, and your handwriting is beautiful! The ink and pen looks great too and I'm intrigued to know what you'll come up with. All the best with your future artistic endeavours. Looks like you're off to a flying start!

Aw thank you very much @soulturtle! I will certainly explore various topics related to art. :) I am not used to it though so bear with me while I try to improve. :) I took a look at your profile and well, you gained a new follower!

If you have anything you think you want me to cover or so, I'm all ears. :)

Cheers!

I really like these kind of sketchbooks. Yours looks wonderful!

Thank you so much @aci7! It's much simpler than art I usually do, but like I said in a comment under your post - sometimes it's just good to be simple for a change. :)
