... We are somehow weird in the eyes of others, aren't we? ...

Totally agree.

Piggy knows where to find a weirdo

How did I just discover this entire thread?! (kicking myself)
Lovely sketches---I'm intrigued by the way you are coloring Piggy...is it with a brush? The effect is marvelously inscrutable.

Looks like a LAMY 27. Just let me know if you need some help...

I was going for an Omas 361/T on the flessibile side but I forgot the dot on the hood. The extra bounce in the nib can be squeaky at speed on some papers, though not unpleasant.

Thanks! Interesting colour effects are mostly happy accidents. I used either a small paintbrush or a Caran d'Ache water brush on relatively thin paper.

Prompt: Weirdo

Hopefully this might qualify as a weirdo?

This is for prompt Sing. A bit out of order but never mind.

Why do birds sing? Because they can. Often only male birds sing.

Brilliantly portrayed, Yazeh! So hopeful and happy.

You're going to need to guess here .- I thought outside the box.

@Chrissy, it crystal clear
I recently heard a talk by a neuroscientist, than when we are curious, thus believe our eyes become wider

Plastic surgery can have that effect, too (e.g. Cher)

She must have had a nose job at the very least. She didn't look like she looks now back in the day when she sang with Sonny.

Good job, I don't have to guess hard.

Unsure if I'm allowed to play here, but I've been sketching. It started with trying to find a waterproof fountain pen ink and mushroomed.

Inky wash sketches, random. A couple got away from me, as I'm just re-learning all this.

Very nice, Sailor!

[Chrissy]

Sailor, anyone is allowed to play here. Great sketches.

[forester]

Sailor, more please!

[Sailor Kenshin]

Soon! Thanks, everyone.

Uhm…. A feast of reddish inks? (I was going to call it Shadows as I am still playing catch-up.)

The scan doesn't show the ink differences all that well, but Vintage Copper looked more yellow, while the Brown Pink was on the brown side of red. Montblanc Leonardo Red Chalk had that genuine terra cotta appearance you see in old drawings.
