Christof, you should have some of your pen sketches printed as postcards for sale - I think they'd do brilliantly on Etsy.
sending the original is more fun - for the recipient as for the sender.
Indeed, but selfishly a copy could be sent to several more grateful recipients. :)

The pen is a Yiren that I bought on a whim just because I like the olive color.

An e-book can contain the concepts and ideas that I want to capture, at the same time, unlike physical books, it's a lot easier to update add new contents.
Here's what a typical page looks like:

The e-book is now in draft mode, with me still adding some contents that I think is useful. It's about 125 pages at the moment.
Now, let me clarify one thing. This is
not a book where I teach how to sketch like I'm some kind of guru.
There are tons of true artists out there that are far more qualified to teach how to sketch than I am.
This book's goal is a lot simpler.
Do you like your fountain pens, inks, and paper?
Do you want to use them more often?
Then sketching, the way I discovered, is a simple, fun and addictive way to answer those two questions.
That's about it.
You are making me want to sketch again!
