    @usk15 so glad to again see your father and daughter combo.

    Kudos to your daughter. If I attempted to draw the Wave off Kanagawa at such a young age, I can guarantee that the result would be closer to what I'd look like after I got hit by *that* wave instead of a rendering of it.

    And of course I like vintage vehicles, so your 1941 Indian motorcycle is just a treat.

    I am not even attempting to go for it myself, it will be a mess! My daughter is very patience and work slow, methodical and has a keen eye for details. I can say for sure that my daughter (14) is better than me (48), just need to practice and carrying working.

    Thank you for your kind words Will!

    For a slight variation on my usual submissions, I thought I'd show the kind of thing from which I frequently draw. I got it from this Pinterest page while searching for 19th century portrait photographs. https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/483925922453963131/



    Still not as good a likeness as I want to achieve, but closer than some earlier attempts, which I won't show. But there are other technical issues to work on. This drawing is restricted to head and shoulders because of the small sketchbook that I was using. But some tries on larger paper presented me with another problem. I found it very hard to show the pleats and folds in her dress convincingly. One more thing to work on.

    Still up to my ears in book-writing. Old stuff will have to do.

    This was for a magazine, done on Bristol paper with a crow quill dip pen and India ink.



    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!


    And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:

    An imaginary old tavern called "The Rusty Pipe".
    Did this one for St. Patrick's Day (also an excuse to use a green pen and green ink).

    Is that the original nib? It looks too small in the photo.

    I don't know if it's original or not, but it came with the pen, and it fits the section.
    If I wanted to replace it with a bigger nib, I'd have to replace the section as well.

    More importantly, the nib's writing performance doesn't seem to be affected by the size, so I left it alone.

    While attempting to draw a portrait of the composer Haydn, inspired by @Kaputnik's efforts, I ended up with this

    Are you saying that the cat is Haydn in plain sight?

    The mask was my attempt, then I got bored and then the piece evolved, and the cat became the composer, aka Haydn Go figure
