Donkies, Trains, Robins...nice work everybody. This is an experiment I made. I like water-soluble pencils for sketching, but sometimes I wonder if applying water to the drawing improves things. This is a quick sketch I made using a 6b water-soluble pencil...I took a pic, and then applied the water with a brush (the one on the right, obviously). In this case I think I prefer the plain pencil sketch, but I've had others that I've been really pleased with. I think I'll do a few more like this, they don't take long.
I guess the answer is going to be.....sometimes they're better, sometimes they're worse.

Great work folks, donkeys , robins , snowdrops, and holiday scene, what a lot is going on. I did this very late last night as I am out all day today. I gave my self 20 minutes and stoped at 22. A pencil, pen and water soluble pencil, I outlined the fireman as I thought of adding somePaul you have got such a lot of detail in 20 ish minutes, no chance of me picking up on any technical anomalies if there are any 😁 it's a fab drawing.colour to his clothing, might still try it. The scene is of the fireman emptying the fire box, please forgive and technical mistakes in the train.

Think everyone is really excelling with all these sketches, all worthy of a mention but if I go back on pages I forget who's on the next page and then I lose my comments!! I try to keep up more on the gallery so if I've missed some, apologies. I started
this off yesterday but only got it finished this afternoon, its Velma Kelly from the movie "Chicago" not a great likeness of Catherine Zita Jones but it was nice to do, I love the 1920's style.

Are there gremlins in the workings? Perhaps we are over working the thread....it can’t keep up! Lol
More excellent sketches by everyone...my apologies for not mentioning you all individually, I will comment on the gallery if they are posted there.
This is the other pewter door finger plate, the opposite to the one I posted a few days ago. This lady, along with her rather chubby cherub, represent the light, day, goodness etc....in pencil on Okra paper.

Love that Fiona, the work that went into old door plates was beautiful. Paul sometimes I think the best work is produced in our quick sketches, transferring them to bigger projects never seem as good somehow, I've really enjoyed this challenge but ive made a promise to myself to carry on with more sketchbook drawings.
