In my free time, I like to sketch and as of recently, especially in ball point pen. All of my drawings are done either from imagination or from photographs. I am not aiming to do anything in particular, but I have found that this method has allowed me to experiment a bit and find new things to draw.
The photos below were a few taken from my sketchbook from roughly a month of drawing. I will be drawing more; to keep practicing.
