I know most of you have fountain pens to write, but I mostly use a fountain pen to sketch. Here is a page of sketches using Montblanc UNICEF ink in a Montblanc M with a fine nib.

You are not alone, I also use my fountain pens to sketch a lot more than to write.

 

To keep it on topic, here's one of my sketches using my Montblanc 344G

Lovely architectural studies, made even lovelier by the ink.

These sketches feel loose and precise at the same time. Thank you for posting them ... I would never have predicted a turquoise ink would be so expressive with architecture.

I like to sketch too, but you actually have talent.

You also have fine talent. I enjoyed this.

This is great!

 

You should come to Write Stuff / FPN art gallery and post there too :)

 

Agreed. There was also a thread a few years ago about "Inktober" (do an ink sketch or drawing a day for the month of October and post it online -- the implication was to post to social media, but I posted my stuff here instead). I really should try to do that again next year (this year enough stuff was happening that I didn't get around to it).

Ironically, I still have the set of Rapidographs that were my high school graduation present. I didn't know until I got to college that they're considered ruling pens or technical pens, because I used mine for drawing for the most part).

Actually, in this case, "talent" to me means "constantly learning to draw something new, and don't give up when the result sucks" :D

That's exactly what it is ... practice, practice, practice.

      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
