Some really good ink drawings.  Well done everybody.  Here's something I've done for a personal project.  This is supposed to be an impression of my first job interview.  I'd just left school.  Thought it was a bookshop, turned out to be a Legal Firm.   All those books were law books.  Didn't get it, didn't want to work with this bloke.  He had a face that looked like it had never been visited by a smile.  This is dip-pen and indian ink.  Undecided if I'll add colour or a monochrome wash, so I've left it as it is for now.

Well explained, Paul!  Tanja - ink is "Tinte"; pen is "Federhalter" (or Füllfederhalter, or Füller, or Feder) [fountain pen], or "Kuli" [ball point pen].   It's not only English that's difficult.....  Now please, no one ask me what "dip pen" is in German!  Because - ich weiß nicht!   "Tauchstift"- apparently: I have a massive German dictionary, heavy enough to break your toe if you dropped it, and where do I find this?  In flaming Google!

I've just done a bit of a study of Anders Zorn etch, Mona. A sketch of an etch. Not to scale of course.

Gill your castle is amazing and the falling around grave stones.or is it a ruined church ? Tanja will be well prepared to pen and ink it. And what a fab sketch Denise...it's only the 2 one and some great work.

Fabulous - don't remind us how long ago it was you took up art, or we shall collectively burn our materials in despair.

Nothing feeble about that Tessa, very good and all sketches and drawings are all good practice and help us gain experience.
