Finished Drawing
Ooohhhh this is aassome, sorry I’ve not been around much on here. You know when I told you I was struggling with my health issues and it’s took a long time to break through, I did it but then it all came back.
I did Inktober last year and only got one finished so I was determined to do it, well didn’t get any posted but it doesn’t matter I’ve done 9 drawings which I’m on inking.
I’m really proud of myself doing 9 drawings in a month 😁😁😁.
And now you doing pen & ink series. I am actually half way through your pen & ink course. I’ve quite enjoyed drawing with ink pens and bottled ink.The only thing I found challenging is blending with ink, it’s not as easy as ya think.
Again thanks for everything Matt because I’ve grown so much even though I haven’t thought that myself. And I fell in the house because my bad leg will give way and sometimes I’ve issues with my balance but this time I managed to break my foot, God was agony !!!!
I have a high pain threshold because of my conditions, anyway I went over on my foot.
And it’s broken and I was thinking no my Inktober but they gave me. Moon boot helping me walk whilst it’s healing.
Never rains but it pours…..
Kind regards Christine 😁
get well soon! pen and ink drawing can be difficult ,but what we need to do is practice!
Hi there, thanks for your message I’m actually going to do these whilst finishing the course.
I was moving on to coloured pencils next but because I’m doing these ink drawings it will all tie in 😁😁😁 I’m going to enjoy this all.
When I started studying with Matt I was just doing black n white pencil drawings & that’s all I wanted to do.
Now I’m like ooohh I want to do this and that lol. I’m like a little sponge.
And I definitely didn’t think I would be doing pen & ink at all.then I decided to do Inktober, last year & year before I did Inktober, I did 2 the 1st year but I did around 8 sketches ready to ink.
I know it’s practice loads and I will be continuing to practice more because I need to be doing more drawings this year.
It all depends on my health of course that’s why it can take me a while, I have good days and bad days, usually there is more bad.
But I’m sure I will get there xx
I think your courses are quite wonderful..as a new member (from ,,down under,,) I really appreciate your professionalism and artistic skills…and I am already back to drawing…
Well done

I am amazed at myself. When I was in school I never managed to write cleanly in ink as a left-handed woman. Since left-handers push and don’t pull while writing, like right-handers, the nibs suffered massively and a smear was nothing unsusual; o). It is all the more surprising that I had absolutely no problems drawing with ink. Thanks to Matt’s graet lessons and instructions.
Thanks Martina!
