    Welcome to the imaginary and tiny "Richard's Garage" set in the 1950s in a quaint little town.

    The ink is of course R&K AGG.

    There's a Richard's Garage at the end of my street but it doesn't look as nice as yours, Will!

    LOL!

    The name Richard is inspired by the little garage which has been taking care of my old 4Runner. The owner's name is Rick.

    That's an interesting take, Chrissy.

    If this sketch were to be inspired by a pen person whom I admire, it would be called "Pete's" instead

    This is...frustrating. A doodle more than a sketch. It's the ink that drives me bats.

    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!

    I have very few sketches which, strictly speaking, belong to this thread rather than others. I've been doing some drawing in ink, but rarely with fountain pens. This one used a Platinum desk pen with a blue-black cartridge. Very cheap pen, but the extra fine nib is good for drawing, I think. No doubt it would have been a good idea to put down some light pencil guidelines first, as I know things came out uneven.

    The main point of this was actually to try out some hatching and cross-hatching, but of course, I needed some sort of subject. I've been amazed by the regularity of some of the hatching and stippling I've seen, in cases where there was no possibility of computer assistance, I mean. I don't have that much control, or perhaps just not that much patience.

    Is a sober tooth tiger one that has finally given up the vodka after putting his wife and cubs through seven shades of hell?

    I would go for rice wine or preferably a nice dram of single malt

    Me too on the single malt. I seem to remember that there is or used to be an Indian beverage called Tiger Beer.

    Tiger beer is actually brewed in Singapore. It's quite a nice beer too. An Indian restaurant I frequented before it changed hands had it on hand to enjoy with their superb curries.

    A big Good Service (a brand of Sears) pen from the 1930s.
    And I love the fact that I can line up the clip and the lever on this pen.

    I recently replaced the steel nib on my Leonardo Magico with this big Moore 14K ... love it.

    The sketch is a little old tugboat, chugging along a choppy, wavy sea. I love tugboats and in this particular sketch, I think I find a way to render wavy sea that is different, and I kinda like it.

    @penwash, I love how the tugboat seems to be one with the choppy sea. It is incredible how you can capture movement and nostalgia in a tiny little sketch....

    Are you hinting that I need to work on the size of my sketches?

    Just kidding of course, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I truly do.
