I wanted to try a more illustrative style tonight, of the 3 drawings, this one turned out the best. Sketched in pencil then drawn with ink and brush. I think next time I'll go for a more sketchy look than this.

ink and water sketches

I felt unproductive while watching TV, so every so often I would pause what I was watching (The Wire, season 2 !) and do a quick sketch of who was onscreen. These are very quick messy sketches done with a rotring fountain pen. I noticed this pen smudged a lot when in contact with water so I experimented with using a wet brush over the drawings. I think some of them turned out quite interesting.
