Usually, the Pilot ballpoint is my go-to for drawings. But I parked that and, instead, used the Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen for inking. Watercolor is Prang Glitter. Flesh tone is J. Herbin "Lie de The" ink. Sailor brush pen for detail on colors. This is a portrait of Lenny Kravitz.

That is really good! Really really good. How long did it take you and what ink did you use?

 

Thanks! This took me a span of two (2) days, on and off. I used Parker Quink black. :)

AWESOME DUDE !!!!!! Love it. and I love the fact that you did it with a $18.00 pen and parker ink... Just goes to show, that talent can perform with any tools!!! and you don't need a $800 dollar FP and a $35.00 bottle of ink ....

 

by the way... what paper do you use!!!

Thanks! I used a budget-friendly Berkeley watercolor paper, the kind that comes spiral-bound with perforations for tearing out. :)

Yep, amazing talent! I'm always blown away by people who know how to really create. Your Pilot Metropolitan definitely is put to better use than mine. :)

Oh my, that is nice. I'm going to have to talk to my Metropolitan. I think it's been slacking on me.

 

Also, in addition to the art, loved your use of "parked that".

How did I miss this thread before now?

This is amazing work. One technical question: what's the finish on the paper: hot press or cold press? I'm not familiar with Berkeley papers.

About the paper, I have no idea what sort of press it was. Just a ring-bound sketch pad off the shelves at a local bookstore. :)

      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..

      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
