I would never understand why people like better "finished" works to sketches! In my opinion (and there are some others, like Delacroix, for instance...) a good sketch IS worth a good painting... I would take every day of the week a small sketch of Rembrandt or Bruegel insteed of 100 big, super-finished paintings of Bougereau & Cabanel.This is a sketch of my daughter (who was posing for a group of my drawing friends) in acrylic ink where I used as instrument not only the pen but also the "pipete" (the device used to draw and drop ink from the bottle) and a medium brush. On watercolor paper, of course (otherwise imposible to obtain these textures...) I kind of like it myself...

Beautiful sketch! I hope tpo see much more of them!
I totally agree with you..sketches have, like life itself, the eternity of the instant, or something like that.
(Better in German: die Zeitlosigkeit des Augenblicks). And the depth and truth of the instinct.

YES, you're right, Miki, it sounds great in German (I've grown up in Sibiu, a city with a lot of Germans and many of my friends were germans - well, saxons, germans immigrated in the 12t century from Luxembourg or around...) and I will try yo post some more sketches, here and there.
I like this sketch..
ce obraznicatura !
