Acrylic and working from memory

Added some watered down acrylic to a quick pen drawing of my aunt and uncles garden. 

I was lying down on the trampoline to try and capture the strange perspective of having the whole circle in your view and also the base. It frames the sky and the rooftops and plants. Lots of ink bled through because it's thin paper for sketching, not for painting.

Practicing drawing without a reference. I feel it's a huge step from where I am with observational drawing (I'll post some life drawings and portraits soon). I find I always end up drawing the same sort of faces. And always very flat, it's so difficult to capture the sense of a heavy, 3D head. It's both fun and frustrating, working from nothing. Complete freedom but it can be overwhelming, end up resorting to more of a symbol of an eye, for example, rather than  the slit or crumpled up skin an eye often is.
