Calling this one done. Had trouble withe the Pelikan pen for some reason and had to switch to a Zebra 402. Zebras still one of the best ballpoints around.

Went on a short bike ride today and now I am back at a ballpoint sketch I started yesterday. Sketchbook is by @fabriano1264 and the pen is by @pelikan_passion.

These two work really well together, one light and one dark…perfect for sketching. @musgravepencil got the 600 News just right. I drew this in my new @shopdenik sketchbook, the paper is great for pencils. I drew this using a tutorial I had found on Pinterest, when I find it again I will post it here.

Quick sketch of an African Shoebill, this is my first drawing of the new year. This probably took me 45 minutes or so. I just received some of these pencils from @bee901co so I wanted to test them out in my new sketchbook from @shopdenik. So far I like both. The pencils are manufactured by @musgravepencil and are very nice, I love the black and gold. The Denik sketchbook is really nice too. Paper is nice and thick and this one is 81/2 x 11. Excellent sketchbook for the price.

I found this picture of a skull with really long braids online. Not sure why I wanted to draw this, just something I haven’t seen before and anatomy interests me. I did this in a @dalerrowney1783 sketchbook using some vintage Eagle Turquoise drawing pencils and a vintage J.L. Hammett Intermediate 222 pencil.

I have been working way too much lately. Have to get back to drawing every day. Have to use up all these sketchbooks and pencils somehow. :)

Ginger sleeping next to me on the couch. Drawn in a Handbook travelogue sketchbook with various Japanese pencils. This one took me about 15 minutes.
