Thanks, Donn! Yeah, not young but still optimistic:)

 

My last work - was just to make a contrast italic (Crisp Italic) nib from non-ordinary nib - wide Japanese Music nib.

Greetings to all! This year the world pandemic and the well-known covid-19 have changed a lot. Due to the fact that the likelihood of infection is still high, the “PelikanHUBs team” decided to cancel the scheduled meeting, for general safety. Over the past few years, participating in this event, I drew some illustrations for these events, so this year I also sketch something about it because I am in solidarity and understand.

The last bell (Poslednij zvonok) is a traditional ceremony in the schools of post-Soviet countries. The celebration is carried out just after all the studies are finished, but before the final exams. The date usually last Friday of May. The pupils that are about to leave the school don the classic school uniform or formal dress; for the girls it has become customary since the 1990s to attire in the Soviet-style school uniform with white aprons and white bows in the hair. A symbolic last school bell is rung, usually by a first-grader. For the first-grader not only all life is ahead, they don't understand what it is:).

Is the girl bored, exhausted, or both?

[Andrew_L]

She thought about her whole life ahead - the border of a carefree childhood when everything is there and nothing needs to be done for this and first responsibilities

Today is the day of my city - Kyiv, which is already more than 1500 years old (!!!). I want to share this with all of you. Welcome to Kyiv and Ukraine!!

Nice one of Zöe Kaldana, Andrew.

[Andrew_L]

Thanks Donn! Why Kaldana? Is it in some dialect or is it slang?

I should have typed "Saldana," rather than "Kaldana." My bad. Next, good drawing of Scarlett Johansson.

[Andrew_L]

Ok:) I thought that there are some language nuances.

 

My new pen, so ...
Italy! Florence! And Love, of course:) ... and Fiat 500(Luigi)

Good drawing, and I also have that pen in that color.

Andrew I love all your pieces, glad to see you're still as creative as ever!

[Andrew_L]

I also have that pen in that color.

 

Thanks. Yeah, very comfortable pen, for me:)

 

 

Andrew I love all your pieces, glad to see you're still as creative as ever!

 

You have not come for a long time, I am glad to read you again!

[Andrew_L]

Do I need to finish with portraits because you might already be bored? and I have some good news - the ink in this fountain pen has run out ...

How about a portrait of the combination of the two -- Frederick Lama or Dalai Nietzsche?
