EDM #6

From my collection of HO trains. Have you ever tried to draw a train as it races around the track?

I need to do things with less detail because I'm not learning much filling in small details; however, it was fun.

I used a copperplate nib on a calligraphy pen with Noodler's ink. Interesting, but I wasn't pleased with the scratchiness of the point and the ink flow. Since I'm not very practiced with ink, I'll try it again another time.

My! Did you sketch this train as it was in motion? I’m impressed!

“I need to do things with less detail because I'm not learning much filling in small details; however, it was fun.” --- yet I found your attention to details are fascinating.

I hope with more practice using ink, you will be pleased with the result of your artwork.
