Fun with brushes

I finally decided to put down my technical pens for the moment and try inking with brushes. This is a big step for me considering that I'm somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my art. I like to be in control, which is probably why I like technical pens so much. The lines are so predictable. But predictable can start to become a little boring and stagnant. Branching out and always experimenting is vital for an artist. I can be a coward when I draw/paint. The fear of making a shitty drawing holds me back sometimes. But I'm trying to get over this irrational fear. A few days ago I bought a few sumi brushes and began playing around. Here are a few drawings I did.
