Pens Drawn By Pens

First we have my C742 with M nib drawn with a mix of Noodler's Antietam and Levenger Cobalt Blue. Nice dark purple. You can see some of the redder marks where the ink hadn't mixed so thoroughly at the nib and threads. Great purple color. Hmm... Forgot to add the details

on the Cap ring.

Then the Pilot Custom with the FA flexy nib with some Montblanc Black and J. Herbin 1670 mixed together. Makes a meh colored brown.

Nice shading though. Gives a very nice fine line out of this pen when usually it wants to make a juicy F/M line.

Nice work, watch_art. Your pen drawings kind of remind me of the 1960s bubble gum cards with drawings of '55 Chevys with huge, oversized engines and tires being driven by comically grotesque monsters with pointy teeth and bugging eyes.

 

Hey! Ever thought of doing a series of pen cards with comically grotesque monsters copying out passages of Proust in full-flex copperplate?

HAHAHAAAA!!! THAT'S AWESOME!

Great! I really love such drawings. They have a character all of their own!!

It bugged me that I couldn't think of what those bubblegum cards were called, so I went a-Googlin'. They were called Odd Rods. You could call your series Glib Nibs.

those are great! i used to draw cartoon characters similar to that when i was in the 5th grade, maybe 1991. we put them on skateboards though.

Whoa! I must have missed this thread the first time 'round, cos I saw only the Parker Quink Black drawings. WAY cool! I really like your style.

Here's some more pen drawings. I've been in the mood again for some reason.

 

Love LOVE my Pelikan Blue Black ink. Have it loaded up in my Custom 742 with that sexy FA nib. Awesome shading and great saturation in my opinion. Super cheap ink, don't know why I haven't had any before. Love it.

I'm curious, what notebook paper are you drawing these on? I really enjoy them.

[watch_art]

Red and Black, or the smaller Pink and Black, same paper, at Wal-Mart.
