Pen and Ink Sketches

Here are two sketches I recently did using the Pilot Prera with Namiki Black ink.  Had I used the Lexington Gray ink, I might have taken a wash to these.  The Namiki will bleed so decided not to use a brush on these.

This first sketch is one of two young woodpeckers that mom is teaching to find food on their own.  We've watched as she's taken seed from the flat feeder and fed her youngins.  They are now doing so without her help.

Second sketch is of a couple pears growing this year on one of the two small pear trees in our back yard.  There are two peach, two apple, and two pear trees.
