FPN's PEN ART GALLERY

[abstract49]

Some more recent plein air sketches.

 

Swapped out a few inks in the palette again. Doyou isn't doing as well as I had been hoping--for such a dark ink, it doesn't leave much dye when evaporated. Definitely replacing it in the next rotation.

 

 

Some neat houses in an older neighbourhood

 

Turkish coffee

 

Rear face of Pittock Mansion

 

 

Defunct flume of some sort

 

Houses remind me strong;y of some in Galveston, Texas, where wife and I lived for a few years. Lovely!

[crahptacular]

The older neighbourhoods around here are full of cool houses like those They have so much character. Here's another from a different area that had a cool upper deck full of flowers I tried to capture. I also got baked by direct sunlight in my car for the entire sketch...

Did some noodling around with my new pen. I wasn't proud enough of it to post it originally, but it kept catching the corner of my eye and making me go "AUGH", may you enjoy the same effect.

Thanks. Yeah, comic style has always been a bit easier.

Andrea Palladio was an Italian architect active in the Venetian Republic. Palladio, influenced by Roman and Greek architecture, primarily by Vitruvius, is widely considered to be one of the most influential individuals in the history of architecture.

Hello,

Please don't throw stones or rotten tomatoes at me, this is my first ever sketch. I literally newer painted or sketched before, just read couple of tutorials yesterday, not kidding

Old tower "Tour de la Sergenterie", at Poligny, France; after a photo I've taken 15 years ago while traveling there.

 

Edit: forgot to tell this - drawn with Lamy blue-black cartridge ink in Parker 45 CT, Medium nib. My phone doesn't know how to reproduce color correctly, oh well :/

[Andrew_L]

Looks great.

Your first piece? Wow! Very nice. If you hadn't said you'd never done drawing before I would have assumed you had been doing it for a while.

Yeah, I was myself surprised a bit, seeing the drawing appearing more and more alive was so great!!! Count me addicted!

 

I've done lots of traditional black and white photography in the past (film, chemicals and darkroom stuff), and being familiar with tonal values may've helped I think.
