Exercise 1: Quick sketches around the house

This exercise was difficult for me since I’m not used to drawing household scenes.

I decided to use a fine nib for my dip pen so I could get clean lines. I felt that using a pencil could make things too messy.

One issue with ink is that I couldn’t erase, although that did force me to quick sketches as the exercise said so that wasn’t too much of a problem. Another issue was that I found it difficult to shade which made my drawings less detailed perhaps.

Towards the end I started to get the hang of drawing inside scenes.
