A recent session with a cheap nib, a bamboo brush, and some walnut ink. The first page were gestures followed by some 10 minute poses. The second was about 30 minutes of a planned 1 hour pose. We didn’t think she could hold it, but she came up with the pose, and gave it a try.
It ain't like the old days, but it'll do.

I recently started drawing sketches and croquis with technical pens and other ink pens just to improve my skills in drawing the lines right at the first time. It really seems to work. I got the inspiration from this forum and from Chris Glib’s instagram (chrisglibart). There are risks in this technique, but it can be really rewarding when everything goes well.June 28, 2018 at 6:24 am #647693June 28, 2018 at 12:37 pm #647694These have a very individual quality. I like them. The little mini figures cascading down the side of the sheet are lovely.
C&C always welcome.

I think that is what drew me to ink in the first place. I have to control the inkwell to prevent spillage, and go bold and reckless with the line. A dichotomy.

I have been using pen and ink for more years than I really want to admit. Light construction lines are helpful and can be done with nib or tech pens. With nib, a nearly dry pen and a light touch create a fine light line. Usually a nib puts down the heaviest line pulled towards you, and lightest perpendicular to that. Rotating the pen in hando can help control line weight.
Tech pens can also provide different line weights. Vertical is the heaviest, and the line can be thinned with pen angle, and lightness of touch.
I love ink because it is for writing, drawing or painting. I is tonal (making life a bit easier for a colorblind artist), and portable.
It ain't like the old days, but it'll do.
