My first post back at blogger is something I've never done before. My very first sketch dump.
The next few were done with a 0.3mm pen and were done while I was riding the BART train into the city the other day. Usually people move too fast for me to sketch in public, but people sitting down on public transport tend to stay pretty still. Here are a few of my successful ones.
These last few were done with what is now my favorite drawing tool, the Pentel pocket brush. I ordered one last week, and just received it yesterday. Took a little bit of time to get used to it, but I'm liking the results so far. It's much more sensitive than my fude pen, and it actually has real bristles instead of felt. Even just through 3 pages of sketches, I can see myself improving!
I've been working through some different tools to see what I like the best, and I've settled on a couple of pens. Not being a real confident drawer, and pretty slow I used to gravitate towards just a regular pencil....but I've since started using and enjoying pens. I've gotten a lot more confident with my lines, and have even improved my speed.
These first few sketches were done with a Japanese fude (foo-deh) brush pen that I used to use to write kana back in my college Japanese class. I had a black Tombow brush pen, but the felt tip on it wore out entirely too quickly and wasn't able to make fine marks anymore. The fude pen, even though still felt, holds up much better.

That's it for today. I plan to bring my sketchbook on my next trip in a couple of weeks instead of a camera, so look forward to those!
