Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What have you drawn lately?

Mojo, that pencil and desk wood look almost real

Lol. Afro mankini

Ok so Rich wants more wood and Trevor more skin. I'll see what I can do.

Are those originals Mojo? That's a pretty impressive portfolio. Do you have the skillz to pay the billz or is this tracing?

Either way, i'm impressed.

Nice work, I'm impressed Mojo!
Also, I didn't know being artistic would give me an excuse to buy cool ink pens, so now I'm interested. No talent, but interested.

... "Draw a bath." Ha! Two shows a night TrevorM?

Since Cork is interested in the hardware, the sketch above was produced with the tools shown below. That fat pencil is a 5.6 mm dream! It is magic; almost draws on its own. The 0.9 mm pencil was used for only two marks. I'll let you guess which ones. The other two cylinders are round and square refillable erasers.

I'd say 25% of my stuff is original. And by that I mean working from photos I've taken like the one of one of my buddies below. Working directly from the natural source requires a ton of observational skill and knowledge I can't yet put into practice. If I want to buy more speakers, I have to hang on to my day job.

Nice Mojo ... especially like the first one.
Have you taken a life drawing class?

I find my Lamy Safari and Pilot Namiki Vanishing Point are all I need for fountain pens. I mostly use a 10 cent Papermate InkJoy for ballpoint work. I have various felts...the Pigma being my favorite. I carry the kit below when I'm out and about in an old but very appropriate eyeglass case.

Rich, I haven't taken any classes. I've taken books out from the library and those have been somewhat helpful. My buddy of 43 years (shown above), who has been into art since elementary, has really helped me. Watching how he works and moves is particularly enlightening.
