New Sketches in a Limited Palette

Finally, a new pair of sketches! I was heading out, and I brought my sketchbook with me. In order to get back into the swing of things, I thought I could try to push to just draw something every day. The May challenge in the Liz Steel Patreon this month is a limited palette, I decided to go pretty extreme with it, and I brought with me only two pens.

I drew the flowers on the table with just two colors of pen. These are Sailor Shikiori Dual Sided pens in colors Doyou, and Waka-Uguisu. To get the pale washes I used a palette, and a water brush, scribbling with the pen onto the palette to make a small pool of ink. I did the full sketch on location, and only did the faded background once I got home, since the white petals needed a background to show up.

My second sketch was of my grocery bags. With costs rising, I like to have some sort of record, and grocery sketches are a fun way to do that, and still get a sketch in!
