Micron Pen Sketchbook High School Art

Junior Lauren Taniguchi is liking her Micron pens and doing some great drawings with them. These are some excerpts from her sketchbooks over the last couple of weeks. She is in Art Theory 2 and is assigned a different theme each week to do 5 sketches of. These drawings are from the clothes, feet, celebrity faces, and vegetation themes. I ask them to draw from life whenever possible.
