I wanted my very first post to be a drawing I did today. Unfortunately, I blotched this one (hazards of ink). Usually, I'm more careful. But here it is: an 11"x 11" pen and ink from a photo of my youngest daughter. The paper's actually bright white so I think my photography needs work.

I will do a painting of this subject (and post it here) but I love working in pen and ink. Creating tone with lines is an exciting challenge. Lines carry so much personality and character.
