These are some recent exercises from the sketchbooks .

This smoking guy

A student and her cat

An actress

A test of different inks based on a picture of 1970’s actress Tina Aumont

A Nosferatu, or to be precise: Count Orlok

Two distant figures having tea in Japan.

I’ve posted some of these drawings recently on social media, but not all of them, and I know some of you don’t use this or that social media app, -or any at all-, so I figure a recurrent type of Patreon post is a better way to share them.
It’s mostly ink with markers and pen brushes, and ink wash experiments. For a time now I’ve stopped making pencil previous sketches, so it’s all ink directly on paper, which I’ve found is a good exercise to improve line drawing.
I hope you’ll enjoy these sketchbook posts! Thanks,
J.
