FPN's PEN ART GALLERY

[parkerwasmyfirstlove]

This are the sketches I did during my commute:

This is the typical landscape/ scenery here. This time I used a vintage diary (and also bic ballpoint pens) which is fun to use, but gives me also some unpredictable results.

 

I did this today, more looking at the details than at the whole scenery and it was very satisfying.

 

Also this is my current sketching kit for the commute. I use black Sailor nanoink in that AL-Star.

On my way back from the gym by bike this evening, I couldn't resist to quickly sketch this sleepy construction site.

You are cool!

@ parkerwasmyfirstlove --

Very nice work. What are the sketchbooks you're using? Clearly the paper seems FP friendly....

Thank you Andrew.

 

And Ruth, the sketchbooks are mostly Seawhite of Brighton. They don't take much wet media, but are cool with the fountain pens.

This guy was so cool. I could sketch him thoroughly. I added the colours on my way back home on the train and the black contours when I was home.

 

I'm thinking about switching to my EF nib in this Lamy, but I also use it for writing addresses on envelopes because of the nanonik and I don't want an EF for that, neither another pen with nanoink, nor switching nibs constantly, hm?

You can buy another Lamy pen with an EF nib, but the Lamy nibs size are not stable. Often EF nib writes as M or F.

Very cool.

I swapped the f for an ef btw. And I'm not sure whether I like it that much. I just might swab it back.

One of my favorite ink.

Lovely thanks 😊

This was my view at breakfast. So much more to look at than the sand, sea & sky out of the other window.

[Scribs]

That's definitely a view that encourages the imagination to concoct all manner of stories.

 

And I can almost feel the heat reflecting off the walls...

 

Thanks for sharing

Wonderful urban sketching, Parker as usual! The number on each work, aside from the date, are you aiming for a certain goal or is it a particular series in a project? (Just curious, and stickybeaking ).

I admire all (ALL) of your work you put up. But I LOVE THAT INK WELL! Could you please show us a close up photo if you get a chance?

Tas, you are always so great with your value placements. Enjoy your holiday.

^^^^ Andrew and Tas, love your contributions, a wonderful contrast to my skraggly skribbles

 

I'm unsure whether I like the EF in my Pentalic notebook, in the Seawhite of Brighton it performs ok, but with a bit too much feedback for my taste anyway - especially when standing.

That's a good thing about the Lamy ALs, swappable nibs, sturdy enough, quite cheap and no emotional value attached in my case. I even have a spare grip section with feed - a good investment imho. Also I really like the Sailor permanent black ink.

Here is the AL-Star. I drew this while waiting for my appointment with the doctor. My time was very limited, but when it was my turn, I was done.

This is the pentalic notebook. The paper is very nice for fountain pens, but in combination with the EF nib a bit starnge. Also with (the Sailor) ink it's a bit prone to smudging. However this makes a great notebook, but I'm probably stressing the paper a bit to much here.

I need to practice my pwnies, lol.

This is my most favourite in the pentalic notebook so far. Also I loved this monochrome girl - I gave more colour than she actually had. She had a cute tummy <3

The last sketch in the pentalic notebook so far. This time I drew over a premade background, really pushing the limits of the paper with wet media. I don't like this sketch very much, but I like the guy with the glasses and the white shirt in the back.

A dog's commute. Again, trying my luck, painting over a premade background with better results, imho. This time my A5 landscape seawhite of Brighton sketchbook, great value for very little money, highly recommended.
