Thoughts and insights:
- I figured out how to change the setting on my scanner so that it now scans the entire page. Yay!
- Stippling is so much fun with a dip pen!
- Inks are so versatile, you can use them for drawing, washes and even mix them together
- I love dip pens!
- So many different nibs! I'm going through the ones I have, adding ones, and throwing out the ones that don't work for me. No point hanging on to them. I only want what works
- An excuse to go to the art shop :)
- Drawing every day is good, but finishing and posting a drawing every day is quite stressful.
- But I'm not giving up
- Done is better than perfect
OMGosh! Love them all!! I hope you keep going and share more of your lovely sketches. :)
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying following your Inktober drawings! I did it last year but I knew that this year it would be too much while I am working on the commission I have. I'm envious though... Your drawings are lovely! I never got on with dip pens... They always seem so scratchy and dry out. I must be doing something wrong!
ReplyDeleteSo good of you to keep going! I love your ink drawings! I have the same as Sandra: I can't seem to get on with dip pens, especially the scratchiness. I wonder whether I have the wrong nips ... About your question on my blog: I'm using very cheap alcohol markers, it's called Decotime and I got them in a local shop here. I figured they wouldn't be very good, but I've been pleasantly surprised :-)
ReplyDeleteThe black cat is definitely my favorite! While many feel they are bad luck, I always seem to have good luck adopting them into our family. The details in the leaves are remarkable.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawings. I adore the cat, too!

WOW! These are excellent! You nailed the shading.
ReplyDeleteSuper looking drawings with marvelous details! Loved reading about the black cat. It's all in the way you look at luck I guess. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteYour pen and ink drawings are so beautiful. You have inspired me to search out my own dip pens, stashed away somewhere for decades now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ink studies
