Well I sat down to draw a treehouse, *actually*--and a battlesteed came out. I'm not sure what Freud would say about that, and I'm not going to ask him, either. ;)

Beautiful! It reminds me of a sketch one would find in a 16th Century Italian or German artist's notebook.
That is lovely. Micron, eh? Do you sketch in pencil first or go straight to the pen?
Thank you! Jennifer I love that you said that, because I used to sit with art books and try to get daVinci's drawing style in my own drawings for art class (we were supposed to work in our favorite artist's style for a series of assignments, which I thought was an interesting idea.) Anyway... definite hero-worship going on.
Tara- yes this was my little 0.005 Micron-- which was steadily running out of ink the whole way through!-- and I do usually draw in pencil first, at least sketching the outlines. Sometimes I force myself to go straight to the pen, just for the practice, but it's always a bit more wiggly-looking... I had a go at doing some of those over the weekend so I can post those next...
Lovely line work, Abby. WOW.
Beautiful treehouse... er, horse. I love pen & ink but don't do enough of it. Actually, can't remember the last time I did.
Awesome sketch. Love the armor.
best. treehouse. evar.
Thanks all, for appreciating my equine treehouse... :)
