Julia Paevskaya (Taira) returned to Ukraine after three months of captivity. She had lost up to 50 kilograms in captivity, and the conditions of detention there were similar to a concentration camp.

Thank you! I do not have clear preferences to colors, although I really like orange and blue-cyan :)). I draw by different colors so that you do not get bored)). The only thing I can say is that I like warm shades much more (of course, blue-cyan tinte  like Edelstein Topaz - this one I also really like) then cold. I do not like poisonously tintes like Edelstein Jade or crimson(magenta), and I do not like dry and fast-drying inks)). As for the favorite combination of ink and pen, of all the different options, the my most favorite is Pilot Capless VP w|custom UEF nib and Platinum Carbon Black))

I would like to think that the portrait turned out recognizable, although not with typical angle, but if not, then leave a little intrigue ..

I didn't put off the work and take a long break, and make new sketch by comfortable nib. Today without intrigue - Salvatore.

I think I posted the companion drawing to this on FPN somewhere. This was drawn in the ACEO format which is 2.5" x 3.5".

 

If I remember correctly this is all Legal Lapis ink except in the flower.

is this done by fountain pen?

[Alma Conklin]

I wrote two poems with Herbin Rose Cyclamen and Visconti Van Gogh Café terrace by night. One poem each as you can see.

Why not.

 

I grinded the nib a little more, because I didn’t really like how it wrote, sometimes too “dry”, or sometimes too “thick”.

I can understand why. It looks like crystalized honey. I guess, that why she wants to eat it.

 I also like honey, but for me it is more associated with amber.

Your drawings and tributes are wonderful. They humanize the wretched war.  It’s not that we do not recognize these are people rising in defense and some dying. Getting to see their faces helps to show the cost. 
 

@Andrew_L  you are a supremely  talented artist. Good luck in the postage stamp submission. 

[inkstainedruth]

+1 to what Misfit said.

Thanks a lot @Misfit and @inkstainedruth. It didn't work out with the postage stamps, but they chose a better one, as suggested above (noted) with a tractor pulling a tank!

Oh, dear. That was obvious, wasn't it? I'm sorry it didn't work out. Next time.

Hmmm.  Instead of the link about the poll, I got to some page saying that my computer was infected with malware.... 😞
