How to create a pen/ink/wash drawing 1

Materials used will be drawing pens (Edding) of various sizes, from 0.1 to 0.4, a brush pen, tissues, and a sponge as well as watercolour paper, and watercolours. Initially, I quickly sketch in the composition with a 2B pencil




This will be a drawing of Lavenham in Suffolk, with its beautiful old medieval buildings. At this first stage, I am simply getting the basic proportions and checking perspective. (It has to be said, however, that some of these buildings seem to defy the normal rules!) When I am fairly happy with this , it is time to move on to working in ink.
