#dippen

I did a series of these dip pen ink drawings this past September, as part of #shiptember.

The black riders

I made this for a 9 figures figure drawing assignment and I wanted to get it done for a Halloween art contest…. but it actually took me from Halloween all the way to the end of the semester to finish the dam thing. I probably shouldn't have used dip pen if I wanted it to go faster. Still I'm happy with the result

Day 12: Hello! More new ink testing. I didn't shake this one as vigorously as the others so I think the consistency was slightly thin. (But last time I got so many bubbles!) Should have found a stick and stirred it up a tad more. Still a beautiful rich pink color! Love how it pops on black and white paper.

I have a discount link with code JWA in my bio for 10% off at FWP. (Not sponsored. Bought these with my own money.)

Recently, I have been playing #BaldursGate3. I have no expectations whatsoever, since, it blew my mind.

I’ve rediscovered my love for rpg again, and I sketched some of my favorites.

I’m getting an A4 sketchbook. These drawings are from my current A5 sketchbook. I love the paper, it’s portable, but it’s a bit too small for the most part.

A very interesting find made in a New Bern, North Carolina antique store several years ago. This is an Aikin Lambert combination retracting dip pen holder and retracting twist mechanical pencil c. 1880-90s, complete with the original box. Fully open, as shown, the instrument is 4 7/8 inches long. Closed, it's a tiny 2 11/16 inches long. The nib extends by pushing the knurled band on the barrel from the pencil end toward the open end where the nib is hidden. The nib slips onto a tab that holds it in place and is kept inside the barrel when not in use. The very flexible gold nib is stamped AIKIN over LAMBERT over & CO over No 4 over M, a medium flexible nib. The mechanical pencil extends by pulling it out from the barrel and the lead advances and retracts by twisting the knob near the tip where the lead comes out. A beautiful and complex tiny writing instrument that is as much jewelry as it is functional.

Glitchy Inks

Some Dip Pen practice, using some concept sketches of my Glitch Saber. I'm still messing with their anthro design and how they make use of their duplicate.
