Redditor smiling in lace dress, 2014, pen and ink, 6.5 x 5.

The appeal of pen and ink (for me, at least) is that it allows for a rather loose drawing. This one is still on the stiff side as the lines are not exactly flowing (They are a bit forced.) I don't like to pencil the lines and then ink the outline since I don't particularly like to draw something twice. I don't know it just doesn't appeal to me that much, so I go straight with the pen and hope for the best.

For full disclosure, this sketch was done with a Frixion pen that allows some light erasing. So, I kinda cheated on this one, eheh.

For reference, check My gorgeous friend would like to be drawn, have a go at it?
