@mf-james The simplicity of your lines to illustrate an image that feels full of life is amazing and is a skill that has so far evaded me. I really enjoy coming back each day to see what our friend Flanigan is doing. I'm curious what size paper you're using for these and if you are using strictly a brush pen if you don't mind disclosing.

[MF James]

@jon-anderson I'm glad you enjoy them.
I use the Strathmore sketchbook. 9" x 12". I love that sketchbook, it has a wonderful texture. I usually fit two days in one page, although this last one was like 3/4 of the page, just because I kept adding skyscrapers.
The only thing I use is the Pentel XGFKP/FP10-A Brush Pen, for the underdrawing a scarlett col-erase and an orange colour pencil for Flanigan.

@mare333 Thanks! Some prompts are easier than others as you may well have found out.

@mf-james Most definitely true, MF James. Found I have to think in the abstract to get any ideas sometimes.

These are so inventive. Graceful may be my new favorite--but it's awfully hard to choose! Such a fun image and I love the expression on Flanigan's face in that one!
