This workshop is suited for beginners as well as seasoned sketchers. We will be drawing with pen and ink rolling writer pens, and Tombow markers. Tombows are brush shaped marker pens that will be used for shading and shadows. In my earlier sketches, I used multiple lines to shadow a sketch, now we can shadow with a stroke of a Tombow marker. This workshop is an ideal starting point to begin your own sketch or journaling books. Learning to sketch is the basis for learning any painting skills. We will start with the basics of sketching with a pencil outline and progressing to a pen and ink drawing. I will introduce you to the “continuous line drawing” method, where you start and sketch on a paper and move the pen without lifting up the pen. Its a fun way to loosen up your sketches and draw what you see and move your pen as you telegraph the scene through your brain to your fingers, great fun. I will provide all the photo materials, and sketch a demonstration drawing. I will demonstrate how a continuous line drawing starts and ends. Sketching is simple and fun and can be accomplished during your travels, waiting at airports and during nights with insomnia.
