Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens Big Brush color sketches

After a quick warm up sketch of a couple of ninjas done in graphite, I felt like sketching in color with my set of Faber Castell Big Brush Pitt Artist Pens.
First color sketch try of the evening on my 11" X 14" Canson smooth bristol pad. The proportions came out a bit wonky, but the idea was to do a Chinese style fantasy warrior with some tiger motif. Really should have started laying down the under structure with a light pencil sketch, but did not feel much like erasing stray graphite lines tonight.
I am a bit happier with this color sketch also made entirely with the Pitt Big Brush artist pens and a couple of the regular size Pitt pens for the finer textures. Made sure it featured the 5-digit claws typical of a Ming Imperial dragon.
