Here is me testing out the highlight pen. On a horse, human, chicken, lion, owl, and dog eye.

You’ve done a great job! I’m going to start my next sketch soon. I’ll let you know how it goes. I realized In the last sketch that my chicken’s head was too “round”. In other words, the circle that I drew for the chickens head is too visible. I will fix that in my Next sketch (hopefully)

I just finished these two. Second one is actually in the trash can right now though.

I forgot to say that I did it with an HB pencil to try and put myself in your shoes! Here is the same sketch after I added some details and highlights with a 4B and Gelly roll white pen. First picture is before the update and second picture is after the details.

It turned out amazing! Here’s my sketch that I just finished. I think it’s a bit better’s than yesterdays. I messed up on the sides, because my pencil wasn’t sharpened enough (I think that’s why)

What kind of paper do you use?

Is that your signature? Do you have a signature?

for now, I’m using this little booklet, the paper feels a little hard, like cardboard paper. It’s around 5x3 inches. And yeah, I haven’t really decided on an official signature, so I’m just going with that for now(I know it looks kind of weird, but they’re my initials)

@cherrynberry Do you use a fixative after your sketch is done to prevent smearing or smudging?

Oh okay. Normal paper will definitely be easier (at least for me)

No I do not. After each sketch, I just clean it up a little and thats it. And I hang my art up on my curtain pole

I think normal paper would work better, but the only normal paper I have is normal sized paper.

Thats fine. Although index cards are super cheap! They are my go-to.

I have used normal printer paper before, but I do like to fold them in half and in half again before drawing on them. Thicker paper is easier to draw on, for me. I am planning to get a sketchbook with thicker paper in the future.
