Lilies in Pen and Ink

November 12th, 2006 | Category: Pen and Ink

Here are some of the Peruvian lilies that I sketched in pen and ink. I used to be terrified of drawing in pen and ink without a pencil sketch underneath, but now I do it regularly. I still do preliminary pencil sketches for pen and ink works that are more complex though. Right now I am working on some 4×6 drawings of the Blue Ridge Parkway and I made drawings first so I wouldn’t make mistakes. I would hate to mess up something that took hours and hours of time to produce.

    Your lily drawings are exquisite—pen & ink AND the ones done in marker!

    I don’t believe you can mess them up even if you tried, you’re getting better with practice.

    I’ve really enjoyed looking at your work…and I did enjoy the teapots. I love your stuff. You are very talented!
    Keep at it!
