"Making sure you are loved soothes the pain of separation. The last "forgive" even loses its bitterness when the echo of love is still heard in it." - Joseph Addison

Made one of my Patterns today. Quick one. I hope I'll find the energy to do big ones some day. Also my hand still cramps a bit since the brainthing last year when doing such things. At least normal writing isn't an issue anymore. But precise lines are difficult.

 

Perle noire by J.Herbin, Lamy Joy with a Z53 F by the way.

Wonderful work and very nice pattern.

Thx. Hopfully more complex ones again in the future. ✍️🔨

“My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation. Spontaneity – the suspended moment – intervenes during action, in the viewfinder.” - Abbas, photojournalist and photographer Magnum photo

The parting is terrible, not because you were left alone, but because you yourself gave your part, and this part is gone forever ... After that, the most important thing will not turn into Voldemort.

I am not a fan of Manga and Anime, but today my eldest son came up to me and said “that you draw some kind of nonsense all the time, better can draw something interesting … for example Eula Lawrence” :). A son is a son, so I going to draw something interesting :).

I have a few highlights from the past 3 months or so.

 

From inktober. Done with Noodler's Heart of Darkness ink on Rhodia N° 19 pad. Used a Zebra G nib in an Ahab Pen. For better or worse this is a B&W scan.

 

Also from inktober. Same media.

 

This one is an Arctic Ground Squirrel. R&K Alt-goldgrün ink on Rhodia N° 16. Done with a heavily modified Noodler's untipped flex nib in an Ahab.

 

R&K Alt-goldgrün ink on unknown bristol board paper; I'm not 100% sure which pen/nib I used for this. Probably Zebra G/Ahab. Also used a Pentel waterbrush. This was my second experiment with waterbrush. Pretty fun medium.

 

American Red Squirrel. Noodler's Walnut ink on unknown bristol board paper. Pentel waterbrush and (I think) Ohto Tasche pen with Diplomat Magnum Extra Fine nib.

 

Noodler's Walnut ink, Rhodia N° 19, modded Noodler's Untipped Flex

 

This last one is really just a doodle, but I drew it after picking up a vintage Waterman nib (from Five Star Pens) and putting it into my Nib Creaper pen. It's a seriously amazing nib. As you can see it doesn't get crazy amounts of line variation, but it can draw extremely fine lines. It's also pretty amazingly smooth compared to other extra fine nibs I've used. According to the Binder scale the slow downstroke is around a Japanese Extra Fine, but it can also get finer lines than that, particularly when drawn horizontally.

The drawing is done with Platinum Classic Forest Black ink on Fabriano Eco Qua paper.

forgot to add information about the black bear drawing, also was out of chronological order

Nice work!  The last sketch made me laugh (but now I'm earworming Blue Oyster Cult...).
