Pen and crayon

Pen and coloured ink. My mum turned this bowl at a woodwork evening class.

Emily, one of my mum’s cats at the time. This drawing in springy pen line and inky thumb prints shows the influence of Victor Ambrus.

 

These drawings are from the same student sketchbook from spring 1973 as the Box Hill and Denby Grange drawings I’ve uploaded recently. This week I’m still working on maps for my walks book so I haven’t had much time to draw for fun.
