My main takeaways from my 14 days were:

- stick to thicker pens or brushed as I'm less likely to try adding ALL the details

- be open to the unexpected results

- don't go into a practice doubting myself

- always keep exploring and expanding your skills

Here are two sketches created on ordinary printer paper with watercolour and a nylon brush. They took between 5-10 minutes and I was gobsmacked at how easily I fell into this way of working. Its certainly going to open more opportunities as an art and illustrator.
