Waxwings like to hang out in a large flock, the one and only time I had the pleasure of seeing waxwing birds is when around a dozen of them perched on an apple tree in my backyard. Hope I get to see this unique looking bird again.

This pen sketch of a waxwing was made directly with a pen, no eraser or pencil used. The pen is a Sharpie with nib size 0.5 mm. bought in a 2 pack at Walmart

Pen and ink sketch with Sharpie gel pen of a tabby cat. I have been practicing sketching directly with a pen, no pencil or eraser used.

 A quick pen and ink sketch of a West Highland White Terrier, sketched with a black gel pen.

The West Highland White Terrier or "Westie" as it is often called, is a Scottish dog of small size. These dogs are very smart and quick learners but can display stubbornness in getting their own way.

These dogs were bred for hunting small rodents so they are very energetic and require regular exercise and playtime to keep them happy and content.  Most Westies are friendly making them suitable for households with children.

As with other terrier breeds, the Westie's coat does not shed but it grows making regular grooming on a consistent basis a must to keep this breed looking its best.

Woodland scene of bare trees by a stream with some evergreens across the water in the distance. A quick pen and ink sketch using a Sharpie gel pen, nib size 0.5 I think that's the smallest size gel pens come in.

This pen and ink sketch was for a challenge in an art forum. Can't tell whether the dog is a Poodle or a Bichon Frise but in any case I enjoyed drawing it.

The drawing was sketched directly with a Sharpie gel pen, nib size 0.5, no pencil or eraser used, I'm practicing drawing with only a pen.
