LG - you have been amazing for doing this project. Halloween, it couldn't have gone without your continued contributions.

 

On Sunday, I'm taking my family to see It's a Wonderful Life. I will think of you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Recently realising I'd never completed my commitment to this project, I filled my Namiki Falcon with some Noodler's Raven (a Wonderpens exclusive), dug out my Black & White album by The Stranglers and listened to Walk On By as I finished the project.

I'm aware of my limitations regards drawing people . . . but shoes! I didn't appreciate shoes were so tough to draw.

Pen: Namiki Falcon SF
Ink: Wonderpens / Noodler's Raven Black
Paper: Daler-Rowney Graduate sketch pad (I quite like the staple in the shot)

Whether they have shoes on or not, I rather like the drawing! I looked up the group and the album cover and I think you've done a credible version of the cover art.

Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

 

ETA: Recently I've had a chance to sit down and watch the series Genius: Picasso. And there's the dialectic all through the series between "representational" art vs. "modern" art, and does one want to do a portrait of someone completely realistically -- since it's the age of photography where you can have a faithful likeness -- or expand on what CAN'T be shown in a photograph?

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Thank you.

I agree. I'm not normally a fan of drawings or paintings that are photorealistic.

 

This was my favourite work from 2017 BP Portrait Award.

 

Must look out for the series now you've mentioned it :)

Now I thought of that Jesus fresco that was repaired by a Spanish lady...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
