Nice work, I'm impressed Mojo! Also, I didn't know being artistic would give me an excuse to buy cool ink pens... 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. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Mv6BWHZr/20210218-080508.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XZCG2yxX/20210218-080934.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/yD53XTmw/20210218-081020.jpg) Those are nice looking pens. Instruments, if you will. I like pens....... more pics........ And that case? Oh yeah. Now we’re talking.

Oh yeah, Rebulx? You think someone may be interested in chanting Sumerian incantations and engaging in rituals to summon the Kandarian Demon? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/bSzL87Rt/20210218-193245.jpg)

It looks like you're doing beautiful work with basic tools (no offense if my untrained eyes missed very non-basic tools), but that's usually the case, talent trumps equipment. You insist it can be learned, and I'm sure technique can be improved; but you have to be able to see the skyline or the tree. I've always enjoyed wandering through art museums and galleries, but I've never been able to see myself recreating the mental path they took to their result. When you mentioned fountain pens I envisioned more of these: https://www.levenger.com/writing-8/fountain-pens-831.aspxWhich I've always admired, but have never purchased because I've never actually used a fountain pen.

Cork, you are quite right about being able to see the skyline or the tree. The most important thing I learned very quickly is you have to draw what you see - not what you think you see. You don't draw a skyline or a tree. You make marks with values (shades) that define shape and texture and give the illusion of a skyline or tree. Many get frightened of drawing because they can't produce photo-realistic work. But photo-realism is just a small subset of a myriad of styles. Look at this one. Even though I had no clue what I was doing because I'm a newbie, the loose sketch style is nonetheless pleasing. A splash of simple watercolors added more interest and depth. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/23673CNH/20210208-145545.jpg) Just start by loosely drawing shapes like squares, circles and triangles. Use pencil, pen, or marker. Extend to boxes, spheres and pyramids. Add shading and texture. Drawing is nothing but an assembly of basic shapes and tones arranged in visually pleasing perspectives. Sketch daily and don't judge your work. As for fountain pens, they're laborious. Talking with others, I've learned my Lamy Safari is among the best for not clogging. But apparently the Amazon Basics is similarly good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SNFK6T...0&pd_rd_wg=2AGvq&th=1&psc=1#

Shoot. I can barely draw a bath. Stunning. Ya a big +1 to that statement. I had to draw a textbook quality figure of a bone structure in university. Had to have included dot shading techniques and some other things. That was our lab exercise for weeks. I still have the drawing on the wall because for someone like me without a natural ability for hand based art, it came out pretty damn good. That's probably the last thing i've ever really drawn that wasn't a map or technical sketch for a project.

I’m wondering if some of the young types might think that’s a robotic head ...
