@Astron, I'd love to see any doodles you're willing to post :). What I like most about forums instead of e.g. blogs is that you can see how a bunch of different people do things. I think even the crudest sketches (not to suggest that your doodles are crude!) are interesting and expressive. And I think everyone I've seen here is friendly and encouraging, which always helps (or else I'd probably never have posted myself...).

Sure. If I'll ever be in Toronto I'll find you in the crowd. Curly hair, skirt, big shoes. How hard can it be? ;)

But the sky will always come to me.™

And don't forget that she'd be carrying a fountain pen (or six) -- all filled with murky green ink.... ;)

ETA: For some reason the turn in this conversation made me think of an old cartoon done by a guy my husband used to work with years ago when we lived in MA:

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Scanned a few more from my plein air practice sessions. Unfortunately, FPN seems to be having server/network/something issues, so I'm having trouble uploading them. Hope the website goes back to normal soon!

 

 

Inside a coffee shop minus all of the patrons because people are too difficult

This is a... bridge or overpass or something... I think fpn_1539412398__sketch24.jpg

Looking at these, it seems I've been largely unsuccessful in my attempts to loosen up. Hmm...

A raptor might appear and hopefully eat everyone so you can go home.

Love it! I can recall wishing for similar dinosaur interventions during class in the third grade :lol: Good to see they are still in high demand.

Combination of a sketch and text (a-la lettering) to create a "product badges" in old school style. In the basis was an oil painting "wolf" by S I M U L.

All three plein air sketches look great on my screen.

Energetic, pulling me into the scenes.

Thank you!

Very funny...and on-target.

I know the feeling you're describing, even if I'd be unable to draw such a charming dinosaur.

Thanks. My skills have declined in the last decade or two. I hope I will have the opportunity to sketch more in the following ones.

As promised I'll show you my doodles. Even if I'm not sure it's art enough. :lol:

 

Some folks consider me strange. => They are right. B)

 

These doodles are mostly for stress relief for me plus training my hand after the time of many wrist inflammations due to strain. They were made from 2016 to now.

 

When I begin such a doodle I have no plan. All I know is that it will follow some rules how the edges are connected and what angles are allowed. So the doodle would just grow like a crystal. As you can see they also may vary in symmetry - which also might be broken sometimes in favour of other patterns. That's what I call them, "Muster" - "Patterns".

 

I usually do these on 4-5mm squared paper. The last one was made on a thin hexagon isometric 5mm grid. Some are made motley by colored pencils including ones in neon and metallic, markers or just plain ink.

 

Luckily for me I don't "have" to do them much lately. Not so much for you if you enjoy them.

 

I hope you like them. If not, keep scrolling. ;)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
