Observation and reverence with ink

i reverenced these images from a book on the Vietnam conflict.

The image was very clear and easy to copy from but to try and define detail and lines in dark fabric is hard to see from just a photo this is where if it was drawn from primary observation i feel you would be able to see the fabric move and bend so you would get a better understanding of the subject which could be reflected in my drawing.

 These two where drawn from observing the vices that where directly placed in front of me. With all the components interwinding and the complex pieces of the vice it was very hard but enjoyable to tackle.

These  three are drawn from observing a cup and ball toy. Although the scale seems to be a issue for me with this set of images i feel because i was directly in front of the subject i could really study them, trying to add the texture and feel of the materials to add doe kind of depth and feel to the images.
