Back to Basics, Four Drawings

I've been adding to my sketchbooks with some drawings and all but the dog were done from life; he wouldn't sit still long enough for an extended study. The top two were using charcoal, a medium I should get more practice with. The bottom two were done with 01 and 03 ink pens. All drawn in a 14 cm x 14 cm sketchbook.

You can see the original at the link above although the original is not as photographic looking in the flesh. There is very little detail, just amazing painterly abstract brush marks.
