SPQR Blues Chapters I-V

The challenge was to create drawings using every pen and pencil I’ve been carrying around with me in my bag—and this is, honestly, a WHOLE LOTTA pens and pencils for something that’s just my regular commute-to-work-carry-Metrocard-and-tissues bag—within a 24-hour stretch between Thursday and Friday afternoons. I was hit by a huge work project and didn’t get started until this morning (Saturday), and did actually use every pen and pencil within 3 hours.

I’m not going to count the last drawing, though, in which I became unaccountably fascinated with the Niji pen roll and drew that (at itty bitty size, of course). I’m going to draw some drawings that are not drawings OF pencils over the rest of the afternoon. In the meantime, I’ll start scanning and posting. I hope you find your sketches of the day amusing.
