#inktober day 8: Star (trek)

Drew this with a vintage Montblanc 149 and Montblanc’s new Beatles Psychedelic Purple on a Field Notes Signature sketchbook. As usual, purple doesn’t reproduce well – this is a super vibrant ink.

#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.

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.
