New pen, fresh inspiration!

My brother was kind enough to purchase me a dip pen (and nibs) and some indian ink for my birthday.  I always thought that pen and ink would be a good medium for my style of illustration but had never done anything about it.  Well, I love it!  I'm not highly skilled with the pen yet but I think my wobbles add more charm to the work (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).  The quality of line and the sense of movement that can be acheived is super. So, I have been inspired to embark on a new series of drawings.  First sketch below.  I dropped  a coloured background on with photoshop just to make it stand out a bit but I think I will start colouring them with gouache.  This is another medium that I have never used but am convinced that it will suit me perfectly!  Watch this space.
