I've enjoyed sketching my little laughing Buddha, inspired by this post by the talented Niloufer Wadia in our Artist's Journal Workshop Facebook group, and by talking to a friend about what a difference medium can make in our final results.
Above, I used a water-soluble graphite pencil, a Pentel Pocketbrush, straight watercolor without any underdrawing, and a plain graphite pencil. (The graphite one has inspired me to do more of that, I love it!)
Here's my first one, with a 578 Hero pen with a bent nib (thank you, Patrick Ng!) and watercolor. FUN...and all very different. I usually choose my medium according to my mood, but also subject and convenience. If a ballpoint pen is all that's to hand, that's what I use, just so I can sketch!
And by the way, feel free to join our Facebook group, it's very active and you get to see a LOT of wonderful work.
Love the sahding on this and the color choice. Very nice!
