I Am Still Sketching

My last post was about using my Sailor Fude nib pen. I’m still using it to sketch my outlines along with my Platinum Preppy. Both are filled with DeAtramentis Document inks.

For the following sketch, I decided to just use my Preppy. It was easier to create the finer lines with this extra fine nib. I’m still practicing with contour lines to show shapes and curves.

I’m also trying to incorporate flowers into my sketches. I chose a tulip for a quick and easy sketch.

I currently have a handful of pens filled with ink and pulled my favorite Franklin-Christoph pens filled with pink and green inks. My Antique Glass is filled with Anna’s Hummingbird Wing and my Golden Rule is filled with Persian Princess. Both colors are shimmering inks.

Later this evening, I plan on adding another or final layer of color to my sketch. In the meantime, I wanted to get this posted on my blog. Before life gets in the way again.

I’m enjoying my F-C model 02 pens. I like how the caps post deeply on the pens. No accidentally flinging the caps off and watching them fly across my desk.

There are times I feel the need to erase my pencil marks. Sometimes I will just let it be.
