Writing as much as I have lately, I've discovered rather a lot of draft posts that apparently never got published. So...a break from rewilding, a post that's been in hiding for quite a while!
As noted in my pen conversion posts sometime past--this is FUN, with a huge range of line widths possible!

| Sketching our friends in the Copper Creek Band, with a bit of gray wash added... |
 |
| Molly Hammer and Joe Cartwright at Chaz on the Plaza... |
 |
| See all the line widths that are possible with just one pen? |
 |
| I added a wee bit of color today...this is my new softcover Stillman & Birn Beta sketchbook, LOVE it. |
 |
| Quick sketches of details... |

I've got several Hero and Sailor calligraphy pens, almost like drawing with a brush!
Love the lines, so like a brush, Kate. The lines of Molly's blouse. Mmmmm. And that dark line just sets off (that first sketch) the cap on that guy with the glasses.
ReplyDeleteI am studying WHERE you put those emphatic lines-- because I haven't learned it yet. They make a sketch pop.
Sometimes it's unpredictable, Annie, that's part of what I like about them!
Deletelove that variety of line! thanks for the scoop!
ReplyDeleteI'm so bad - instead of Hero & Sailor my eye read Hello Sailor! Well I love the pen . . . and the sketches . . .
ReplyDeleteHey we can't help where our minds go! :)
DeleteYou capture people so well with just a few stokes--whether wide or thin. :)
