this is more of my pen and ink images. I really do enjoy this technique even though it is so time intensive.  

 I thought I’d start a series of images based on money. At the moment our kids fight over a single penny whilst as adults we are looking at mortgages. Money can become something that dominates every thought. Not having enough, wanting more or the possibility or winning the lottery can be all consuming. I thought it kinda appropriate for a technique that takes proportionately a lot of time 

I decided to try something new. I kinda set myself a huge challenge. I was looking at the amazing work of CJ Hendry who I have to admit is a new art crush, she is simply amazing. 

It got me wondering about the process of making art using just a pen. Seriously I enjoyed this. I loved how you can get all the different shades from just one pen. 

The question I do need to askyself is why did I choose such a challenging image for a first try with a new medium. But I like the result. 

I also learnt that there are different number of dimples on golf balls. The one I chose has double the number of dimples as the one with the fewest. 

i am really loving how images seem to be growing on my page. As my skills are improving I’m enjoying this more and more  

I really need to think of more interesting titles for these posts. But it’s functional I guess

I have 2 completed images for today. Portrait 15/100 on my faces challenge and evidence of my second ever life drawing class.

So my question is why did I choose an image with so much hair when I find it so challenging. I’ve suggested it well but really need to learn how to do it better.

This guy has been waiting for me to finish him for a while. I think he might be there
