Wow! You guys take it serious. I just sketch whatever quickly and take a picture with the cell phone.

 

I was on my way to work yesterday and had about 10 minutes before I had to leave. I thought that I would check FPN for updates. I came across @LizEF's comment above and the phase, "Like I do". It sounded like something Yoda might say. So I looked up Yoda on Wikipedia, made a quick sketch, and posted it. It turned out to be a feminine-appearing Yoda, but that's how it goes. I was only about 3 minutes late to work.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

:lol:  That's dedication!

When one is inspired to draw a stickman, one has to act. And then everything takes one or two minutes longer than one had planned. Normally, I would have drawn a draft first, but the "original" was good enough, so I went with it. I am not sure to which species Yoda belongs, but they are humanoid, so I would guess there are females as well as males. I didn't intend for this result, but my version turned put to be feminine. @LizEF saw some resemblance, but that was unintentional. I did consider putting some rectangular glasses on the creature, but I was running out of time. Of course, it is never too late. 

 

As I was on my way out-the-door, I used my nearest full pen, a Pilot Custom 823. I usually take two to work with me, filled with Pilot blue-black ink. I keep the Moleskine graph notebook on my desk to write down any notes, so it was handy, too. 

 

Dedicated Stick Figure Drawers (DSFDs) should be prepared to produce one quickly, at any time.

I think that it is fair to say that @nealc is now an official (pair of) DSFDs. image.jpeg.ae5e8ec0577643121b62fa4d61331032.jpeg

Another hasty one. --Which also serves to illustrate the last quote I sent on another thread

(Drawn in-flight with the only writing instrument I brought with me on this trip. Not having my pencils, erasers, fine-nibbed fountain pens filled with waterproof black outlining ink, etc. is annoying; so is only having my phone and neither laptop nor tablet to more easily and flexibly edit the images prior to uploading.)

      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
