black ink

Not a massive fan of bugs but here’s a green beetle illustration using 2B graphite pencil, black ink and Crayola crayons.

I have another cat called Donut who’s fluffy and has to have a lot of attention. I used black ink, white gel pen, graphite pencil 2B and Crayola crayons.

Platinum Preppy 02 fountain pen, Noodler's black ink, watercolor paper.

White raven created with graphite pencils, HB pencil, Winsor and Newton black ink, acrylic paint, white gel pen and Crayola crayons.

Inspired by one of my cats who is black with bits of tortoiseshell coming through. I used black ink and apricot Crayola crayon for this.

Using my own prompts I illustrated this kitten using Graphite 2B, HB pencil, Winsor & Newton black ink and a white gel pen

"Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is because such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of spirit. Unlike the dog, the cat's personality is never bet on a human's. He demands acceptance on his own terms." - Lloyd Alexander Materials - Alchohol-based Markers, White Gel Pen and Black ink pens

Digital is great -- for composition and color. But for line art? I don't think I can ever give up the fountain pen. This was drawn with a Sailor King of Pen (M) and Sailor 1911L (EF) fountain pens using Pilot Black ink. Yes, sacrilege. Pilot ink in a Sailor. But I have some Kiwa Guro arriving soon!

I drew these guys with a Pilot Custom 823 FA and Platinum Carbon Black ink. The FA nib has a good drawing width on watercolor paper - one of my favorites. It's a soft nib but I don't use the line variation, just some nice shock absorption with each downstroke. The Carbon Black ink is out-of-this-world good, though being pigmented I fear keeping it in too many pens.

Drawn with a Sailor/Wancher Turquoise 1911L. The M nib on this pen comes to a sharp point which allows for some line variation not from flex but based on how deep the firm nib digs into the watercolor paper. The Noodlers Black ink is a little dry and that contributes to this effect.

There's a big drop of black ink spilled near the center... It's like that bit of ink just couldn't wait to be part of the art. Sometimes a rough sketch takes on a life of its own.

"The Tree People" finished line work. Pen = Sailor Pro Gear, EF nib. Pilot Black ink. I love this ink... if only it was waterproof. Works well with markers though.

That one time I thought it would be a good idea to coat my lips with black ink and kiss the paper. Regretted it for the next 3 hours walking about feeling like a goth.
