Artemis Draws

While sleeplessly browsing the internet at 4am, I found a photo of a man holding a glass in a cafe and decided to adopt the same pose for my study, but draw a somewhat different face, rather younger and better looking, but in the same clothing. Still sketching and drawing from photographs gleaned from the internet, just trying to practise my brushwork. Tried out the Kuratake Cambio brush pen for the first time, for the fine detail on the man’s scarf, and feel very satisfied with the fine brush strokes that the Cambio is capable of. However, my Winsor and Newton Series 7 sable brush continues to disappoint, it flares and splays the moment it touches ink. I may end up discarding this brush and getting a new one when I return to London, perhaps from a different retailer, in the hope that I merely got unlucky with a damaged brush from Cass Arts. Apologies for the uneven colouring, I did not scan these ink drawings, I only photographed them with a smartphone in poor lighting conditions.
