I think it's up to your own interpretation Paul. A quick study or something of your own. I don't think it matters. What ever you want to do.

That all sounds good. Thinking outside of the Box as they say.

I had initially thought that we would be using the same image that Denise worked from - I probably still will do that actually, I need something to work from as a reference… but in my own style as always…we’ll see, I don’t have long to spend on it, family matters await as will be the case for many of us I suspect this weekend!

Anyone got anything to show? I’ve had 40 minutes at my effort this morning, sanguine and black conte chalk on a buff Ingres support. Very much my own style of course. Not overly impressed with it, but I’ll post it tomorrow… hopefully!

I did something yesterday. Something quick as I had visitors I wasn't expecting yesterday. I started then visitors arrived so only had a couple of hours left to complete Something. I knew I would have no time today or tomorrow. Have a good day everyone. I'm not impressed with mine Alan but I found the challenge real fun. I think it's great a few of us are trying.

Resurrecting this  thread with a recent discovery - I DID once draw in  biro; I'd largely  forgotten doing so; but  unearthing a pile of old sketchbooks the other day (including many drawings of my late companion and ever-present friend, Ralph the Rat) I found several - and what I also found was that some done in black had faded to a brownish colour, while others had bled right through the paper and marked others  - Daler-Rowney cartridge, normally immune to such problems; but there was oil in this ink, by the look of it.    The drawings would be around 30 years old:  so I  counsel caution if you want  your drawings to outlast you.  Some ballpoint pens may contain superior ink to whatever it was that I used, I don't know; but I won't be using them again.

Well come on Robert let’s see the biro drawing. This is not literature site, it’s a pictorial site. No excuses come on. Thank you in advance.

I can't re-size the damn' thing - too much new and awful software; I might put it on the gallery instead.
