FPN's PEN ART GALLERY

[Astronymus]

Beautiful.

[pictogramax]

This thread is alive and kicking really well, so many various and interesting approaches and images!

 

I received today something that is not a fountain pen, but will be used alongside my Platinum 3776 SoftFine and Platinum Carbon Black ink. It is AKASHIYA SUMIIRO brush pen - waterproof and (at least to me) ideal companion for those who sketch with fountain pens and like to wash over with watercolors (or other FP inks). Here's a picture and link to my impressions:

Interesting. Are these refillable? I have a few of the cheap Kuratake eyedropper brush pens (got them with bottles of Noodler's Kung Te Cheng ink) and I had just been recommending brush pens to someone in another thread because that person was looking for a pen to use with highlighter ink.

No, these are not refillable, at least not as they are. I had some luck filling other brushes like these by cutting off the top of the handle, dripping a bit of Platinum Carbon Black and taping it back. But it demands a bit of tinkering, if one is so inclined :-)

 

To use as highlighters, Aquash brush pen or similar are much better choice indeed, you are right.

 

This one is special because it is quite dry in comparison with other brush pens. That is important to me, and maybe to someone else who is looking for something like this, as I did for years by trying various brands.

 

If one is content with widely known types as Platinum or Kuretake, then this one is of little interest, as it is more expensive and non-refillable.

Merry Halloween, friends! Laugh at your farewells to your fears!

OMG, months have flown passed me this year. I missed Inktober and Fountain Pen Day altogether, and is it really December already???? Unbelievable.

 

This thread has been so very inspirational whenever I pop in to take a quick look. I admire everyone's work.

I haven't been doing much "art" with pen and ink lately, but this is one of the more recent ones.

The first test is a new(for me) style.

We've missed you.

Thanks Tas, I saw your drawing of utility poles and power lines a couple of pages back, in your signature unique and eye-catching style. Amazing work!

 

Very nice linework.

Thank you Parker. I was trying to practice the precise placement of lines so that each line counts in the overall image. Copying older ink drawings helps me a lot, but I need to do more of them! I admire your commitment to developing your art even further. I really enjoy your use of colours in lines and in washes.

Thanks Andrew. Gibson's drawings were so very demonstrative of the style of the period, and I can't get over those huge hair do's! So much hair, and such sophisticated use of lines.

I loved looking at your Christmas cards. The recipients will be very lucky to have them.

I like your experiment in the new style. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
