pen and ink

I have dragged this typewriter around for more than 50 years. I found it in an antique store when I was in college. It's still fully useable, except that it's REALLY hard to find ribbons. Basically, it's just another object to dust. But it is a beautifully made object. The basic shapes and perspective were blocked in with a 2H pencil, then I used a Sakura 005 micron pen to do the contour drawing.

Another vision from imagination .

Tiny starflowers under trees are one part of macig at Finnish woods. This works point is more at illusion than realism

Here's a sketch of the Osprey Pens Pen Factory, drawn with an Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib using Noodlers Black Ink. Great pen!

Inktober2018 day2. Tranquil. What can be more relaxing than taking your spider for a hike through the country? Maybe walking your spider on the beach?

Just about there with this one. Not sure if it works as I wanted it to!

This is part of an ongoing series.

This is a drawing I did a few years ago of the holiday cabins that my family used to stay at. We would spend a week each summer vacation at the beach.

I have been drawing quite a few women in armor, most of them with animals. This was the first one in the midst of an action pose. It was fun to draw.

The first page of my sketchbook #3. Akiyo Noguchi - a japanese rock climber, bronze medalist of 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Sketch n watercolor. More sketch than watercolor.

Stippling practice of a horse eye and piece of bridle.

My first attempt at cross-hatching with ink.

Drawn in the town near where I live.

Some bicycles in front of a statue and a bicycle shop. Sittard, The Netherlands. I am not quite happy , the way the statue worked out. I should have used a smaller nib for that.

Autumn is a peculiar time, I suppose. It's one of the prettiest times of the year (in my opinion) and one of the most mysterious. I'm not sure what it is that leads to it, but my mental state always shifts dramatically during this time, not always in the best way. I don't know. The transition is darker and murkier.

Ink pen and Tombow markers on a coaster.

Pen and ink in my moleskine. I posted the entire drawing a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed drawing this. I felt like I was drawing someone's lost thoughts.

Ah yes, another hand. I never really realized how expressive hands can be, and I've been drawing them a lot more recently. (I swear I won't only draw hands.) This week has been quite the experience and has made me step back and look at certain things. (Who knew physics could be a metaphor for life?) Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, have a great weekend/week.

Hi, today I tried a different style! hope you like my pen drawing :) pls follow me on my instagram, thanks!

Here's a quick sketch of myself. (The perk of messing up a drawing of yourself is that you can't offend anyone else...)

This is a totem I did of all the pets I have/had. I used Copic Multiliner SPs.
