FPN's PEN ART GALLERY

[TMLee]

Apologies if this has been posted somewhere here in FPN before..

 

It was a frustrating day - like 'hitting a brickwall'

And I set out to sketch a brick wall, (how literal ! )

 

Then as each brick got drawn in, the frustration slowly kinda dissipated.....

 

Then started rendering the shadows....

 

Then the pockmarks ...

 

Then one red Colour pencil...

 

Then I realized a brick is never one uniform shade of Colour ....

And no two bricks are ever the same shade, even from the same kiln...

Wow, Matias, those are truly amazing. Do you work as an illustrator or something. If not, you should. The top one reminds me of something out of the Beatles animated film, Yellow Submarine. Again, great work.

My amateurish contribution, a carriage and a treasure box seen in a movie some time ago.

The sketch was done using my Lamy Vista with Lamy blue ink (while watching the movie )

This was drawn on Moleskine notebook, size A4. Pilot/Namiki Vanishing Point, fine nib, and Noodler's 'Black Eel' ink were used. I like this fountain pen a lot.

Choen says"ok ok too much line shading",I completely disagree !

Looks just fine to me.

It's a good thing too add some "body"to a outline drawing,it's your light & shade when using a pen, adding roundness to your forms & makes for a more finished, sophisticated drawing.

Yer nice work choen & timely it being the jubilee celebrations today.Whilst I am no royalist myself, I have spent the day watching others celebrate this with gusto.

I suppose I should expect a counter reaction from the colonies!

Hi!

 

In the thread on Rome Burning I promised to do some drawings using this unique ink. I have still not found a way to use the effects of the ink (yellowish brown turns to lucid purplish blue when washed with water) in art composition in a successful way. The paper has to be put underwater, or under running water for this effect to take place. A standard waterwash with a brush isn't enough to initiate the colour-change. I used it in the drawing below without experimenting with this colour-change, it is the yellowish-brown colour.

 

Here is a Nightmare Cityscape inspired by the book Perdido Street Station by author China Miéville.

 

 

The inks are Rome Burning (yellow-brown), Burma Road Brown (brownish green), Diamine Damson (purple) and black (Noodlers and Pentel brush pen black). I also used waterwashes. The gray is Noodler's black. I do like a black that turns gray, not any other colour, when diluted (sic).
