Why Sketching in Pen Will Transform Your Art (And Your Confidence)

Sketching in pen can create visually interesting drawings in your sketchbooks.

While the first thought of sketching in pen is fine, hyperrealistic drawings. Most artists have a more enjoyable drawing experience when they keep your pen drawings loose and spontaneous. In fact, sketching in pen is a great way to learn how to stay loose in your drawings.

Drawing in a tight, realistic way leaves you open to the fear of making a mistake. I encourage you to embrace sketching in pen for the beautiful mistakes and misplaced lines you create. It'll help you daily drawing and create interesting drawing ideas.

Essentially, every line communicates your thought process and mood while you are drawing. It's forever recorded on paper.
