Totem Square, Sitka, Alaska. Uni-ball Vision pen on card stock.

This is just a quick sketch for this week's Illustration Friday theme. I used a photo taken on our Alaska trip as a reference.

Mt. Roberts Tramway, Juneau, Alaska

Mt. Roberts Tramway, Juneau, Alaska. Winsor & Newton watercolors on Aquarelle Arches cold pressed paper.

When I took a photo of the tramway, I thought it would be interesting to draw.  Now nearly four years later, I finally got around to doing it.

I used the Pigma Micron Graphic 1 pen for this drawing. The thicker line allows me to loosen up a little.

I drew this from a photo I took this past summer.  I enjoy the challenge of drawing only in pen. Once you've made a line, even if it's not quite right, there's no going back!
