Wonderful to know, basics are same for all mediums. So, my suggestion is to start with basics with Ballpoint pen. Below warm exercises help to build muscle memory required for every medium. Then slowly progressing to cross-hatching and contour lines. Hope this helps :)
Alphabets starting from A to H showing various lines, curves and lines made with various pressure, thick to thin. Pen drawing warm-up exercises for beginners. Numbers starting from 1 to 3 showing various cross hatching techniques, Contour Lines drawing in the form of basic shapes, circle, cylinder, cone and rectangle. Pen drawing warm-up exercises for beginners.

Last week, this was a sad looking machine stuck in my garage - I had to admit I'd never fix it, so it went to a new home. And look at it now!

For #JanuArty prompt of Flat

A #monoprint of a Jackrabbit
In order for it to be created
The plate had to pass through a press and flatten into the paper
The results are always magical

For awhile there I was watching what happens to oil paint if it goes through a press
Turns out something cool

Scratchboard art done in 2022. I bought a load of stuff to do this, was really hyped and excited about it, and then never touched it again. I should revisit this media.

Day 16 #ArtAdventCalendar -left page of a 2-page spread of my Illinois prairie nature journal, covering a July 14, 2021 moth survey.

July and August seem to be peak season for diversity in moths and blooming plants in the prairie. I had trouble wittling them down to fit the page...
#SciArt #moth
Watercolor paintings of a diverse set of moths found at the Schulenberg Prairie in July 14, 2021. Some are colorful- green, yellow or multiple colors like the lichen moth (red, black and yellow). Some are gray or brown with patterns around the top like a winter sweater. There are also 3 other insects- a mantidfly, a buffalo treehopper, and a green and black striped leafhopper.

Day 16 #ArtAdventCalendar - here's the last and by far the best scratchboard style illustration I did when recently studying the technique. This one fit into a nice little frame and lives in my girlfriend's room. #artsky #drawing #illustration #traditionalart #pen #ink #oldstyle #learning
A drawing of a rose in scratchboard engraving style illustration. The form of the flower is defined by sections of broken lines and cross hatching. It is a small drawing indicated by the pen shown next to it.

Today's entry is a WIP of a small project that I started a few months ago but shelved it indefinitely... Would definitely love to return to it!

This is the kea-griff, a mischievous creature that is the mix of a kea bird and a lynx!

#ArtAdventCalendar
WIP sheet for a kea-griff, a griffon based on a kea and a lynx. It has mostly beige feathers with some areas of greener feathers, large fluffy back paws, and a bobtail.

River sage (Salvia Misella) is an aromatic herb with leaves and flowers which can be eaten raw, cooked, or dried to enhance the flavor of baked goods, fruit, meat, and vegetables. Its bright blue and fragrant flowers attract pollinators.

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 12, part of a really fun commission! I was asked to imagine what a hybrid between Cedar Waxwing and tanagers might look like. This particular one is a cross with Western Tanager! Notice also the thick tanager bill, perfect for eating those laurel berries. 🪶🎨🐡 #birdart
Speculative hybrid bird with a shape similar to Cedar Waxwing with a crest, black mask, waxy tips to the secondaries and a dark tail with yellow tip. However, it has a Western Tanager's large horn-colored beak, a red/orange/yellow head, yellow belly and rump, and black wings with yellow wingbars. The bird is perched on a laurel branch with shiny black berries, which provides food naturally for both parent species.

Pen and ink drawing of a humpback whale and her calf. We are fortunate that they visit Cape Cod every Summer. Seeing them up close on a whale watch boat is very moving and memorable.
