I think it’s unlikely the former US President was posing nude at my life drawing class. But if it was him, then I’m glad I caught something of his impish charm!

Thanks! This is a new style for me, still figuring it out but pleased with what I’ve done so far.

Thank you so much for saying so! I’m really happy with how this one turned out given how it’s not the kind of thing I usually draw.

As for the sharing, I’m just glad I’ve found a nice community here!

Love the expression on his face.

Thank you!

That’s extremely cool.

Thank you! I’m more used to technical pen, so the quality of line with dip pen is really exciting to play with.

Do you make albums/books?

Thank you!

Hi! What a lovely thing to be told. Yes, it’s original, drawn last night. Based on a photo I took in Denmark. No website just yet, and nothing like commissions on the horizon – but maybe some day!

Hi there! And just to make matters more confusing, a previous misunderstanding about how Lemmy works means I post here too: https://feddit.uk/u/case_when

Thank you!

Thank you! The trouble has always been finding a clean, reliable white ink. Most of the stuff I’ve used has ended up gumming up my pen. This was gel pen but it was horrid to use.

This is great! What sort of stone is it?

Thanks!

Oh, rest assured, this is fucked up at multiple locations…

Haha, thanks! It turns out my meditation routine is just drawing hundreds and hundreds of slightly wonky parallel lines all evening.

Thanks! I’m pleased with how much variation in tone I’m getting just by changing the angle of the lines.

Thanks! There was a phase in my life where I did charcoal, but I couldn’t bear the mess. It looks like I’ve gone pretty hard the other direction…
