When artists have too much time on their hands - they do ink - free hand and no pencil sketch before hand. Use tick marks to locate you primary subject, then sketch - does not always turn out to be a a masterpiece - but hey it only took 6hours. Micron ink pens 0.01, 0.03, and 0.05 - light bristol board sketch pad - 9x12 inches. Photo by Amy Kiley with permission.
