It's all go here. Lovely work everyone. Must try dots. Looks like fun

Must also try a 7+ course dinner! :)

 

Erm, I went slightly off piste (and a little moody) with "Keys"

Ink: Monteverde Black with Gris Nuage wash.

Pen: Faber Castell no name with a No 3 nib.

Paper: Cass Art 300gsm watercolour paper.

 

Will revisit the typewriter theme again, so much to appreciate in there.

 

 

Wow!!! That's amazing. :yikes:

I've got no idea why. Anyways, I like your artwork, and your friendly posts :)

 

I look forward to seeing more.

 

P.S. How did you get that gloriously ominous dark background? I'm assuming you didn't sit for hours painstakingly filling it in stroke for stroke...?

The Faber Castell pen, much like the Namiki Falcon, will put down a massive broad stroke if reversed and held flat onto the paper. It's not as predictable as the Falcon but does a good job of filling gaps. . .

Wawooo, beautiful.

 

Amazing how you got to give such a luminous rendering using dark colours.

 

Congratulations

Feeling pretty guilty about not doing any of these lately, so I paused in my regularly scheduled sketching for a project and did these, since all materials were right there in front of me and quite frankly I had no excuse ;) Ink Sailor Yama dori in a Sailor 1911S F pen

I just want to be more consistent. I'd gotten away from drawing and painting for so long but I've been able to get back to it over the past couple of years, mainly from taking classes.

I can see that you're struggling to find the right words here. You want to use "and" instead of "no."

 

:lticaptd:

Personally, I want ones I can't find at the moment: Grey Plum, Honey, IG Gummiberry, and IG Cherry.

It was restraint that caused my choice of words, though you are correct, Unfortunately, that can create other problems (or minor details).

Hurrah! Another list. Thanks Pira.

 

Here's my #21, a measuring device.

 

post-54491-0-23206200-1459708402_thumb.jpg

 

As usual, I should have waited for longer before erasing my pencil lines. Perhaps I'll learn some day.

 

This took me a few attempts. First I tried some measuring spoons but gave up on that idea quickly since it was going horribly wrong. I tried a careful study of the watch which turned disastrous, so this quicker, looser sketch is the final result.

 

As usual, this is with pencil, then Platinum Carbon Pen / Ink on Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook paper.

Hi everybody, I'm still here, been keeping up to date with all your lovely works via the Weekly Digest :)

 

@ Tas - another "wow" from here for your keys!

 

@ milkb0at - after 6 faithful years' service (so far), I can highly recommend the VSB automatic chicken coop door :D

 

@ Snowbear - what do YOU call a headtorch then?! I have been meaning to ask that since I saw your comment. I'm sure Google would tell me if I looked, but where would the interaction be in that?

 

One of these arrived a few weeks back, "aha" thought I, "the very thing" - of course by now OH has put it onto his bike, so this is copied from a well-known online retail site...

@milkb0at: nice watch.

 

@Moominyak:

 

In the US, I believe most of us think of a "torch" as a stick with an open flame. either placed in a bracket on a stone wall or carried; things that were used before electricity was harnessed. Electricity is used for lights and lamps.

 

We would call a headtorch a headlamp or headlight. We also have headlights on automobiles, which are the white forward-pointing torches). We know others are confused by our version of English, but that's OK, y'all confuse us with lorries, bonnets (on an auto), jumpers, trainers and that extra syllable in "aluminum." ;)

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

      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
