Margaret Langston's Faves

I used paint markers on canvas for this one.

Pen and Tombow markers in my moleskine. This one is straight from the street, while sitting on a nearby park bench.

I sat on the ground at the boat harbour to draw this. I felt a bit self conscious as everyone started emerging from the boat as I was obviously drawing it. I thought it was empty! I have never drawn a boat before and don't know much about them. It was fascinating.

This was done with fountain pen in my moleskine sketchbook. I wanted to try out a frame like they used to create for book illustrations. This is after an illustration by Virgil Solis from 1563. I have changed it to make it more contemporary.

This is a closeup of the Fox and Raven Frame I posted the other day. It is done with fountain pen in my moleskine.

Fountain pen and DeAtramentis ink in my moleskine. The complete frame was posted a few days ago.

Pen and ink in my moleskine. I posted the entire drawing a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed drawing this. I felt like I was drawing someone's lost thoughts.

Whisp, day 2 of inktober. Done with my TWSB Eco fountain pen with an extra fine nib. I think I like this approach better than yesterday's. I like the fine cross-hatching. Mig looks up and sees smoke coming from a distance.

Day 3 submission for inktober2020. The prompt is bulky. Created with a fountain pen and ink wash. Mig grabs her big coat as it is cold out.

Day 7 of inktober2020 and the prompt is Fancy (referring to his hat). I like this pen and ink approach better than most of my earlier inktober drawings. I prefer the teeny tiny scratchings to marker. Nick insists on taking his special hat with him.

Day 8 of inktober and the prompt is Teeth. Nick is excited to go out, he doesn't care what the reason is.

A detail from Polar Bear Ship, a recently finished drawing after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist of the 15th century. I changed it a fair bit, his didn't have polar bears - or any animals. I wanted to try out his style. I like this way of drawing.

It is day 14 of inktober2020 and I couldn't resist the prompt Armor.

This is the other half of Return of the Polar Bear, a drawing in my moleskine. It is after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist from the 16th century. I began it as a way to try out his intricate use of line and hatching. The subject matter altered some along the way - his etching didn't have any animals, and of course mine had to be all about the animals. I also simplified. It turned out to be a wonderful lesson.
