FPN's PEN ART GALLERY

[inkstainedruth]

Taking a page from Pira's work, I've expanded my palette a tad for today's entry:

Sheaffer Snorkel Valiant, F (?) nib -- diluted vintage Sheaffer Brown (which actually does not say "Skrip" anywhere on the label or box)

Pelikan M400, F nib -- Noodler's Walnut

Rotring ArtPen, EF nib -- diluted Pen & Ink brand No Shellac India Ink

Pira, I love your squirrels saga

Here's today's (well, technically yesterday's since it's after midnight local time). I did it while at a friend's house for dinner, and we didn't get home till late (and of course since I was logging on to FPN anyway, I figured I would catch up on new posts and it was a couple of pages of threads before I got to this one....

Oh been there and done that. I figure if I got the work done on the day it really doesn't matter if there is a delay posting it. I do recall squeezing the actual drawing in once...11:45 and well lubricated with scotch when I remembered I needed to do a sketch that day (I was visiting family)....but I got it done ... in a manner of speaking.

 

And Ruth..you need to water that plant

Thank-you.. Apparently this is the Year of the Treerat for me. I am really happy others have hopped onto this bandwagon here

Nope. First of all, it's a Christmas cactus. Cacti get watered sparingly -- they're desert plants. Secondly, it's not mine.

No drawing today, sorry. It was a bad day in many respects. But seeing the otters has cheered me up immensely.

Glad you liked the greedy otters Ruth. I hope you had a better day today.

Well, it' had its ups and downs. I had a lot of trouble sleeping, and I'm now kinda wheezy. Plus, the medications I'm on has my mouth tasting really awful. The up side, though, is that I survived running errands. And I got back on track with InkTober, getting two drawings done to make up for not doing one yesterday.

Here's today's installment. For once, I actually done at a reasonable time, but it's really gloomy out today, so it took a couple of hours to get up the energy to scan it in.

Here are yesterday's and today's installments.

 

 

While I was working on today's, it occurred to me that it really needs the highlights and the reflections to stand out more. I may try this subject again at some point in future with a gold ink like KWZI Old Gold, and then use a grey ink for the shading. But it's a learning process -- which I think is likely the idea behind InkTober to begin with.
