Hello, ! I found you on Steemit Chat.
This post is great because I also enjoy "urban sketching". It's interesting to see the tools other artists use when they are creating their work. You said,
I switched to using pen as oppose to pencil because it helped me to LOOK at my subject more closely and really makes me study the perspective in front of me, thus improving accuracy.
Well put!
I love looking back at my older pen/ink sketches to see just how much I've improved my accuracy. It's very satisfying to find perfection in the quick, little details captured during a session.
In many ways I prefer using ink only (rather than pencil, ink, eraser) for the very same reasons as you. Initially it was a difficult transition from pencil's "safety net", but well worth the trepidation. Thanks again, and
