Ballpoint pen sketches

We went on a trip this week and on the airplane, I only had my sketch pad and a ballpoint pen and a book. I read for a bit then got the pen out and tried some sketches. It is not near as exact, obviously, cannot erase wrong lines… but I did like how you can draw then loosely go back over the lines to correct any imperfections in the shapes. Of course, these are far from perfect in the perfectionists eyes, but fun to do these loose pictures. I got carried away, as usual and ended up with many of them. I will share a few here and the after pictures, when I added a little bit of watercolor to them…

and a few thoughts got added to the finished ones….

this princess is probably one of my favorites. Love the verse from Psalm 45:13, “the King`s daughter is all glorious within.”

This SHINE girl has not been colored yet but will be soon.

We are back in Seattle today, after a week cruise to Alaska, and on our way back to Birmingham tomorrow to get back to the real world. It was a nice break away to see some of God`s most beautiful work in the countryside of Alaska.

Linked with Sunday Sketches here

Go check out all the awesome work over there.

Have a great new week,

Love,

Jane
