A beginning

I've been wanting to explore where my illustration style can go.....sort of what it might do if nobody was looking.  Tonight I just doodled with what turned out to be a really good tool:  ballpoint pen!  It doesn't smudge (much), it doesn't bleed through the paper or make blots, and most importantly I can't erase it!  I just have to draw whatever and then there it is, blemishes and all.  This was fun;  it felt great to just doodle from my imagination.  I can't wait to keep going!
