Pen-and-ink drawing

Trooper, pen-and-ink drawing

I took a fascinating class with Pontiac artist Jelly Massee, who taught a workshop on pen-and-ink drawing techniques at Pontiac School of the Arts, autumn 2012.

Here is the second drawing I created that day.

I worked from a photograph I took of Trooper, Eric’s Friesen-Standardbred gelding. I used many pen-and-ink techniques including stippling and cross-hatching.
