After the mess I made of my last pair of legs (a drawing, not actually my gams), I sketched out the next pair in pencil, instead of going straight in with a ballpoint pen. I’ll sleep on it and when I’m happy with the pencilling, I’ll work it up in ink. These legs are part of practice I’m doing to develop some ideas I have for lino prints.

Definitely better
Thanks. I was more relaxed with the pencil as I knew it could be erased if it went wrong. I was trying too hard with the pen
I primarily work with pen..when things fail, i do over..not the best way to conserve paper
