Very pretty! Ink and alcohol markers make a vibrant effect. But they can be an unforgiving medium.

Thanks! Yeah, you're right about alcohol markers being tricky. I started using them somewhat recently (about 3 years ago), and I'm still trying to learn to use them better. I'm learning how to use watercolor markers, too (about a year ago), as shown in this painting. What's your favorite medium?

I use digital must of the time. But among traditional, perhaps brush pen or marker.

Two recent pencil drawings of just random people, i do not even know them. They are photographed at a distance either just waking down the street or sometimes working an outside job.

I like gathering images of people to draw this way, instead of walking up to them and asking them to pose for a photo. As i find many change and become aware of their presence and will lose the natural state of whatever they are doing.

Nice scratch broad work, is that a silver board?
Honestly not sure. This was done with a soap stone on black background.. I was eyeing the reference sheet to detail...

Ok it is hard to tell looking on a computer. So this is a soapstone pencil drawing on a black surface (paper?) and not a scratch board.
