Another new experiment this week. This is my first piece using ball point pen. I've done sketches and stuff with pen but never a larger piece. I was actually pleased with how it turned out. It's a bit stressful not being able to erase your mistakes, even with colored pencil it's possible to erase to some extent and fix your mistakes much easier. With pen, fixing mistakes becomes much harder. But I think that also helps to get rid of some of my tentativeness when it comes to art as well.
Anyway, some new stuff happening this week. First off, I finally got that commission finished! It took longer than I expected just because of my other job, I work doing heating, air conditioning, water heaters, sprinkler systems, etc, etc, and the busy season has started so my time for art has been limited. But this week is my last week! A week from tomorrow I officially start in as a full time artist. I'll be sure to post pictures of the commission, but as it's a gift it will have to wait until it's been received.
I like that you focused on the fender of the truck and not the whole truck it gives it more feeling. And I like the rustic tone the ball point pen gives the truck.
