Some good sketches in the preceding posts. One from me, a friendly swan (…well it didn't hiss at me)  allowed me to take a photo, and I worked up this little pencil sketch in 3B pencil and a touch of white chalk. A5 in my sketchbook.

Very good sketch Andrew. Swans are lovely shapes to sketch and you've done this one so well.

Just got around to a ball point pen sketch
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Both the last two are good - though I'm not sure George's doesn't introduce a rather excessive note of festivity!  That's quite a bright blue - still; it does show what can be done; I'd just reconsider the blue, and go a bit darker.... mind you: I'm so conservative! I like John's clean lines - but don't think he needed a biro to accomplish them... I'd rather see that in charcoal or carbon pencil: but - I could well be prejudiced againt biro/bic, etc.

You are right Robert, the background colours is much too blue, reflecting showing colour  from my overhead lighting. I've re photographed it more carefully. The ball point pen I used was blue The result is not very much different than I would have got with my normal Fude pen but it was less satisfying to do in ball point for some reason and I wont be doing any more of them.
