Didn't feel like writing tonight (being sick does that, I guess), so... I doodled again instead. Once again, used all my pens in it (yup, those 5 you see there comprises of my entire current collection ;.;).

Yesterday's doodle bled through. This is just an old grid paper notepad I have- nothing fancy. Guess I should add a Rhodia pad to my order on Friday if I'mma continue doodling...

From left-to-right: Jinhao x750 med nib w/ Manuscript red cart, Pilot Parallel 6mm w/ red parallel cart, Manuscript med nib w/ Manuscript black cart, Hero 7028 (med or fine nib, unsure) w/ Pelikan Royal Blue, Manuscript fine nib w/ Manuscript black cart.

 

The Pelikan is the only ink I have right now, hence all the cartridges. My Goulet order is gonna have a lot of samples, so... There will be more non-cart ink soon (...I should order a converter for the Jinhao, since the one it came with broke on first attempt to use...).

Your doodles are great!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Although it kinda looks like my bird is farting mid-air...

And don't put ink where the bird is not.

 

That's where I have the problem.

Step 1.) spill ink on paper

 

Step 2.) draw the word fart and go from there.

BTW, I love how the smoking bird has his legs crossed like he is just chilling out for the rest of the day.

The Noodler's seems to have a better flow, but they look identical. But I am a FP baby so I am probably missing ALL THE NUANCES.

 

 

... I finish work (yes I'm a bad person who hangs out on FPN while working) in a bit over an hour. I'm gonna try drawing birds. It's on y'all if they come out looking like some poor mad scientist's experiment. ;)

I like the bird smoking. Looks like he is enjoying music or something.
