My Sketch Dump


TeaHive

Recommended Posts

I hardly ever do "refined" artwork anymore, but I do doodle and sketch often. I think I prefer the rough nature of sketch-work, actually. At any rate, I thought I might start a thread to host my pen doodlings. :D The best part of making art is the sharing of art, after all!

 

Various fountain pens, various inks. Noodler's Ahab, Nib Creaper, Pilot Penmanship, Lamy... Rouille d'Ancre, Sailor Miruai, Noodler's Squeteague, a custom Iroshizuku blend.. Too many to remember.

Pilot Penmanship and a custom Pilot ink blend made by mixing a bunch of the cartridges from the Pilot Petits I bought.

Look like fun to me.

 

Sometimes I just like to let the hand and fingers do what they want. I never know what will appear on the page. My problem is that as soon as something starts taking shape, the head wants to take over.

 

Love doodles and doodling. The second sketch of the gal... very expressive.

 

Looking forward to watching this thread grow.

I'm a big fan of mindless doodling. But like you said, the mind tends to interfere sometimes. Now and then you just have to give up and let it do what it wants--sometimes you end up with something horridly overworked, and sometimes things go well.

 

I'll keep adding as I keep creating!

Daler-Rowney Earthbound. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Cachet-Earthbound-Sketch-Books-11/dp/B0015MCNF2

 

I don't remember it being even CLOSE to that price when I got it. I think I picked mine up at a Wal-Mart many moons ago.

Daler-Rowney. Wow, that takes me back. But yeah...the price.

 

I am currently working my way through a totally-horrible-for-fountain-pens comp notebook I call The Daily Blarf. Because, you know, I had it. It was there.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Very cool! I always admire those of you who can make random-seeming doodles look like art... my brain doesn't work that way and I can't even come up with stuff like that!

Gosh, another talented FPN member! Love the work TeaHive. Is there no end to your creative talents!

 

Sailor Kenshin, please, you do not need to be brave to post some of your work. I put some scribblings of my own on another thread, and I am terrible with a pencil. Nobody laughed, and there was some good encouraging advice.

Thanks all! I sure hope there's no end to my creative talents.. ;) Actually, I can name some things I DON'T do: metalwork, woodwork, glasswork.. I have done stone carving on a very small scale, but eh.. Things that involve paper, however, including the making OF paper, I'm all about! I've been practicing the ways of drawing since I was five, drawing non-stick horsies and such. 23 years later, and I'm only starting to get pleased with my creations. Maybe in another 20 years, I'll be somewhat accomplished. :P

 

"Talent" only takes one so far. Hard work, or just a desire to have fun, is most important.

 

Bringing you your daily creative motivation. Sketch on!

Nice! I like it!

 

I should doodle more - and use more colors. I do have colors, you know (I'm talking to myself).

 

Thanks for the inspiration!

Somehow, I lost a notification that this thread was updated in the tidal wave of notifications I received while away at a wedding. Whew!!

 

Looking good, Kenshin! Doodling is the best way to test out new ink/pen combos. Or just new inks and new pens. >_>

Thanks! I used to be capable of things like this. With a crow quill. And brush.

This reminds me of beautiful old Chinese silk embroidery.

 

Your work is lovely!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
