Practicing My Penmanship

These pen and ink illustrations should have been posted earlier, as they were my practice subjects before the sumo. They were done fairly quickly, and, as you can see by the ballerinas, they helped me refine my pen strokes and lines.

I had tried two different styles with these ballerinas, and find that the simpler strokes and finer lines on the right produce a daintier image. This was not so necessary with the quarterback below, but I'm still happy with the rendering.
