Okie, finally got off my butt and attempted the next 4 lessons in my art odyssey. Let's see what we got.

First off, I have some drawing pens now. Mr Linley says you need a 0.1, a 0.5 and a 0.7. I have a set of pens my (retired) artist uncle got for me a couple of years back, but I never had any use for them till today. Unfortunately, the sizes I have are 0.25, 0.35, 0.5 and 0.7. And the 0.5 he already used and the ink is so clogged up and dry in there that no matter how much I washed it (I even tried vinegar!) it just won't unclog; it's totally unusable. So my lines are thicker in places than they ought to be. Anyway, let's see if it's an improvement on the blue ball-point.

Lesson Four - A more advanced drawing Could be better 🙁

Lesson Five - Building bridges

Lesson 6 - More bridges

Lesson 7 — My very first masterpiece worthy of framing... ... Yeah right! The grass ruins it, he didn't give any hints for the grassy bit. But this is a hell of a lot better than anything I could have churned out before. It's also a hell of a lot more than anything I would have even dared to do before, so I really have made lots of progress.

Well, I did make rather a few blunders here and there, but overall I'm quite pleased with how far I've got in only two sessions.
