Bamboo drawing

First attempt with the bamboo pen. Keeping the line width the same proved difficult. As the amount of ink decreased on the pen, the line faded on the page and became thinner. When I added more ink on the pen and continued drawing, the line was irregular. The roofing tiles were another issue I ran into. How to portray the texture of the roof using the bamboo without just making squiggles is something I need to work on. Using shading is a method for showing depth, and needs development. 

So pretty. Much better.
