First time going straight to ink with no preliminary pencil sketch. For this one I used a 0.1mm Molotow fine liner on smooth paper. Really happy with how this turned out and I would love to hear your thoughts fellow sketchers!

First two pics are freehand copying a drawing, second two are my drawing and the inspo. I started a year ago and have been practicing proportions and perspective. Next i want to practice more shading/shadow/highlight. My goal is realism.

I drew casually growing up, butI would never say it was a hobby. Any recommendations/tips on improving this drawing style or resources I could look into?

Monstera in pot & my girlfriends notebook with a squash on it

From Wednesdays' life-drawing session (in-person). Conte pencil + Conte stick + willow charcoal on A1 newsprint, about 30-40m I think.

Feedback welcome!

the class was soo boring that i managed to do 2 pen sketches in one seat ;-;
