Whilst waiting at the doctor's, nothing better than a Pilot Varsity filled with Büroservice Bergmann's Red IG ink, a water brush and a Talens pocket notebook and some nice smooth blues

[christof]

I love to sketch with the EEF reverse side of my Parker "51" nib...

[penwash]

So I just got a pen named "Blue Jay".
I thought, why not sketch a bird... but the bird is not a Blue Jay

I took this photo near the front door at work earlier this year. There were three of these butterflies, but by the time I got my phone out, two had gone elsewhere. I think it's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, but I'm no expert.



Last night I took a break from trying draw people, and tried to draw a butterfly. This was on a scrap 5x7 inch piece of Arches 300 pound rough watercolor paper that has a false start on something else on the other side. Watercolor pencils. I want to take my "real" watercolors out again some time, but I've been doing a lot of practice sketching with pencils, and have felt pressed for time to do anything else.

@Kaputnik, I prefer your painting to the photography. it's more alive, you should do more

Yesterday, I watched a French TV comedy movie, about a Basque pork butcher and his vegan, to be son-in-law....
This inspired a quick little sketch of the colour Basque (south-west France) as the plot was at times over the top.
Paper is a Talens mixed media, pocket book

Inks used as either mixes or dilutions
Noodler's Lexington Gray/Polar Brown/ Baltimore Blue
Kakimori Kurun
Sailor Storia Mix Red/ J Herbin Rouge Opera

Some of my sketches this year that I scanned, post-process, upload, and print as postcards...
These and the others (including some older ones) will be displayed on my table at the Dallas Pen Show next month (September 27-28th).

[Yazeh]

Love your postcards, @Will.

I really like this ink (Büroservice Bergmann, blaufliessende EG-Tinte)

[Yazeh]

@christof, lovely! I love that ink too, pity that Thomas isn't able to send them outside Germany

[Sailor Kenshin]

Pretty Safari, too.

[Yazeh]

Pretty Safari, too.

if it wasn't for @christof, I wouldn't have the 5 Safaris, I have

[LizEF]

Pretty Safari, too.

Yeah, if I'd ever seen a Safari in that color for sale, I'd have snapped it up without a second thought! That's my color!

[christof]

Thank you. This safari is still available online. It‘s called itoya copper 02.

[LizEF]

Thank you. This safari is still available online. It‘s called itoya copper 02.

Thank you for curing me of my desire for this pen.

For your Sunday Morning (depending) entertainment!....
I guess it's 'Art', of some kinda marker-ani-photon form, but [imho] talent is involved so hopefully will 'count' here.
But I thought it uber-cool & just had to share it with somebody! LOL
