I made this for my sketchbook exchange with a friend of mine, started out as a drawing of David Suchet as Poirot, using a Nikko G-pen nib and brown ink, then became overrun with some doodling using  Dr. Martin’s True Blue dye.

This began as a doodle with Nikko G-pen nibs and red ink, added gouache for the light blue areas.

This is a doodle with collage from one of my sketch exchange books, random drawings around this tree, also incorporated some collage using Eric Carle’s technique. The pink is ink that had bled through from the previous page.

This is a sketchbook exchange entry for Aaron with some heavy influence from him. I made this with a Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush pen filled with Coffee Brown Dr. Martin’s Dye. I bought a full set of these dyes at Art Materials about twenty years ago and have never really used them, actually wasn’t sure if I still had them, then found them buried in the back drawer of my drafting table. A little messy filling the pen with the eyedropper but it flows through the pen fairly well. More to come, with additional colors!

This drawing began as a dot and then became a wooly dot and then an aura or explosion, just an exploration in waterbrush pen line quality. Done while listening to Wolf Parade.

I brought my Thursday class over to Spyhouse this afternoon to do some observational research, looking, listening, sketching. I had time for a quick brush pen sketch of a young man concentrating on his laptop.
