Day 3 of Inktober is for pelicans, and I resisted the urge and didn’t sketch this pelican with a Pelican. Instead I sketched it with a Kaweco Sport in frosted blueberry with a medium nib and a Graf von Faber Castell turquoise ink cartridge.

We have flocks of pelicans passing in the country on their yearly migration, and they are impressively big and impressively loud birds when disturbed. I have a penchant for turquoise and teal inks, so you’ll see quite a lot of this hue during the coming weeks. I like the shade and shading of the Graf von Faber Castell turqoise, so I may yet buy more cartridges once this pack runs out.
