For the last few sketches at the recent life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop, I switched from my usual graphite block to a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen. The graphite is great for tones and simple line work, but I wanted to get more fine details so I made the switch. I did the basic outline and features in graphite first before starting in with the pen. This is a 10 minute pose onto vintage paper (no watermark).
