Ooookay,

After coming home, I went with a World Watercolor MOnth prompt "Colors of Summer" and tried to tame the dark ink based boku undo watercolors along with Sailor kin mokusei.

Then a view from the terrasse

Followed by some letterart

Big thanks! But your work is very high level!

 

These are my test sketches after I restored a pen. I store them as an archive for a memory of the possibilities of the instrument. But if you are interested, I can make a copy for you using Indian ink. Or try to draw your idea.

So to speak, the example is in the interior.

 

I meant that sketches. That's how you store them?

Ah, New York, New York by Frank Sinatra ...

 

These are real sketches, but this is an example of design "how they could look in the interior." I can make them for you in Indian ink. I prefer to make Indian Ink (for order), because it is not dangerous for sunlight and does not fade. If you don't have a color preference, I can make it in black ink. If you want color like in photo, I will try to make such a color(approximately).

 

It's ordinary fountain ink - Sheaffer Blue-Black ink

My attempt at watercolors, and my favorite waterfowl.

It's interesting to have a solution with different styles on different halves of the sheet. Good work. Thanks for sharing.

Mayan apocalypse - The 2012 phenomenon was a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or otherwise transformative events would occur on or around 21 December 2012.

 

Or something else?

One of my favorite quote:

 

Quote

Everyone knows, something is impossible. But then someone ignorant appears who does not know that it is impossible, and makes it!

 

Albert Einstein.

I went a bit on with the ink theme

Then I tried my luck a bit with some friendly monsters for the kids.

This one is the cereal monster, done with my Bexley Prometheus and Diamine saddle brown in my Stalogy notebook.

Then here we have one done only with my waterbrushpen and Pelikan Sapphire - I don't like writing with this ink, washes are a ok.

And a habañero monster done in the same way with Diamine Terracotta.

I like the muesli-monster in a honey cup. You should think about the series in one style: children's breakfasts:)

​Good work!

You're right, good idea. But despite having three kids and making/ having breakfast with them, I don't know a bout typical children breakfasts...

[Andrew_L]

You can take in the basis not your children, you can take for idea the national food of different countries: Switzerland, Mexico, France, England, USA, Spain, Germany, India, Japan, China and so on.
