These sketches were draw with a black Pentel Color Brush. 
I took it with me the other day to use for my "warm up drawings". It was so much fun I drew pages of horses with it.
On some of the sketches I smeared the ink a bit with water and a regular brush.
It is often several days, maybe weeks, before I finish sketches from a trip or drawing day. I don't want to start by placing water color washes over every line. Sometimes the line is the best part.
What is often missing in a sketch is the background. By background I mean everything that is not the main subject. With line work is can be difficult to not make the background too busy. My object is to insist the background play a supporting role and not take over the sketch.
