I was given a sketchbook by an anonymous YouTube subscriber….and I finally just sat down and decided to USE it! Trees were the first thing that fell out of my pen….so that’s where it went from there on!

The pen I recommend is the TWSBI Eco – I have the Extra Fine, Fine, and Medium, but the Fine is a great one – you don’t need them all!

You are an amazing artist. You inspire people to draw .
Wow , your drawings are as stunning as your paintings, you are such a great artist Sandy,
thank you for sharing all your beautiful art with us!
OMG! This is AMAZING! Definitely time well spent. I love the textures and depth. It flows from page to page so well. You have a terrific eye for detail.
Whoever gets this is VERY lucky- I wish I had sent this to you!
Love love love it!
That really was epic… and absolutely amazing! I was completely mesmerized watching the drawing develop. I am awed by your talent and the way your mind works is wonderful (and weird in the most fun and fantastic way). Would love to see more ink drawings, or anything else you’d like to share with us. Thank you for all that you create and share with us.
This is so amazing Sandy!
I ❤️❤️❤️ ALL of your pen & ink drawings! Please continue sharing them!
These remind me of Art Nouveau (one of my favorite styles) but with a modern flavor.. This I gotta try! Think I’ll use my garden and document the plants this way. An exciting new project in my favorite place to be.
I have been following your work for a few years now through cardmaking but now I just watch it because your talent inspires me. I recently bought your class ’30 days to more confident sketching’ and although I can’t quite manage a lesson a day because of work commitments I have been loving creating, and your tips are brilliant but simple. My two teenagers were doing it with me for the first 10 days, then they drifted off, but they were both so impressed with their achievements with the ‘conservatory’ drawing. In the meantime I progress, and I CAN draw, I do feel much more confident and I’m only half way through! So, thank you for sharing your work. Know that although we don’t all post, we are constantly inspired by your skills and generosity so, THANK YOU!
I absolutely love it! I am inspired by everything you do. I want to do it all. I don’t even know where to begin.
This is fantastic! I have been following you over the years and you are truly blessed by GOD. Thank you for all you do for others. Nancy
