Drawing a tree trunk with pen and ink

 

 

Add a horizon with distant tree line and a scattered trunk or two and you have a simple landscape.

Over the years I have developed a personal style with repeated motifs. I use vintage mid-1800s to early 1930s dip pens. I have several hundred of them. And,,nice work in your examples. I also do pen and ink with watercolor. Have used bamboo pens for bold sketching.

This looks terrrific! I've been wanting to start incorporating sketches in my journal, and I'm very much into plants and landscapes. This looks perfect... thanks so much, Rahul.

Thanks BradGad and Studio97...Simple sketches indeed add a whole new dimension to journals and they are so much fun to do:)...my aim in my tutorials is exactly this...to help people who have never drawn before see how easy and fun it is to learn to do simple drawings and landscapes with pen in pocket sketch books, journal or even on a napkin when waiting at restaurant (I do it often:)....

 

Also do spread the work around on your social media as the more the merrier..

 

@Studio97,

'several hundred' is indeed a lot of them:)...I have few but I often find that I keep using my favourite one or two and I suspect same might be the case with you. I am a 'pen and ink purist' in that I like the feel of drawing with only pen lines and stay away from colour but I have seen many drawing that incorporate the two wonderfully. Never used bamboo pens but may be one day..

 

Have a creative day

I just spent some more time on the site. This is incredibly valuable and incredibly generous of you. I'm at work now, but can't wait to get home and start working on this.
