Tools: fountain pens.
Paper: Moleskine Classic Notebook (7″x9.75″, 70gsm, ivory)
A few weeks ago, I found a brand new fountain pen in my studio. I bought it last year and lost it when I reorganized my studio (I’m pretty sure “reorganizing my studio” isn’t supposed to work that way, but it often does). Ive never drawn with a fountain pen, but 2018 was “The Year of Practicing Your Ink Sketching.” It seemed like the perfect time to try it out. I like it. I like it a lot! I like it so much that I bought a second fountain pen for my campus sketching kit.
These are sketches of animals from the Sonoran Desert (which surrounds Phoenix and extends into California and Mexico). Each one took about 5 minutes. You can find the images I used for reference (along with a few hundred other photos) on this Pinterest board.
