Kind of embarrassed to put my doodles among so many better drawings, but what the heck. Here's where I am right now. Maybe I'll post something a year from now and see if I've improved at all. These two drawings are both in pencil. I've experimented with charcoal a bit, but am mostly staying away from ink for now.
First, a self portrait. Doesn't actually look a lot like me, but my faces are beginning to seem more human, at least.

And this one is not really what I intended it to be, but the end result is an improvement on where I started.

Better than I can do. Keep em coming. Can't get better without some practice right? Speaking of which I need to sketch more.
Another 1 hour Dojo sketch during the Judo training of my son.

Nicely done! Also, welcome back! :)
Thanks Azkid, I´m so sorry for being that late with the mystery ink challenge.
I had no chance to do anything on my hobbies the last weeks. :(
I hope you accept my apologies.

We have blackberries in the garden and my son wondered if it is possible to draw and paint with the juice.
He squezzed the juice out and used a dip pen and brushes to draw a flying squirrel.
It turned out that it works quite well (to my surprise), it shaded quite well.

I've been away for a while. New employer (well, two, actually) and returning to fishing. This is a watercolor pencil I did while on a short fishing trip in Vermont, back in June.
