#Inktober day 2: Tranquility

Pelikan M620 Place de la Concorde medium nib, Pilot Iroshizuko Asa Gao ink and a waterbrush on Field Notes Signature sketchbook.

#Inktober day 1: Wadi Nisnas, Haifa

Drawn on location in Wadi Nisnas, Haifa. Super5 0.7 fountain pen, Rohrer and Klingner Lotte SketchINK, Stillman and Birn pocket Alpha. Will probably get watercoloured once I have some spare time – took some reference photos just in case.

Luxembourg Gardens sketch

A quick sketch in Luxembourg Gardens, Paris on a Stillman and Birn pocket Alpha. Still learning how much water this paper can take, and that’s the first use of a Uniball Signo white pen for the water in the fountain. I’m very pleased with this little trick I learned in the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Porto.

Quick sketch: Tic Tacs

I found a box of Tic Tacs in my drawer at work, an unexpected little treat.

As you can see, the Field Notes signature sketch book isn’t 100% fountain pen friendly (there’s some feathering), but it’s good enough in a pinch.

Arca Tel Aviv Port

We had a “street party” at work in Arca, a venue in Tel Aviv’s Port, and I took the opportunity to draw a quick sketch of the place.

Arca Tel Aviv

Schminke watercolours applied with a waterbrush on a Stillman and Birn pocket Alpha. Sketch done with a Super5 0.7 fountain pen and Rohrer & Klingner Lotte SketchINK.

Work in Progress: the Embassy

Lost daylight while I drew this, so I couldn’t complete it in time. Will go back to I add watercolour, hopefully soon.

Drawn on a Moleskine A4 watercolour notebook, with a Sailor Fude 55 degree nib fountain pen filled with Noodler’s Lexington grey. This is the first time I’ve used the Sailor Fude pen, and it is taking some getting used to. Depending on the angle you hold it, it either creates thick, brush-like lines, medium lines, or extra fine lines (when flipped over and used upside down).

Coffee shops

This page isn’t done yet. I’ll probably add another little sketch to the bottom right.
