I was tired of carrying around a bunch of Microns. I want one or two refillable pens so I started with buying a new Lamy AL-Star Fountain Pen. I love it. I got the medium nib and am able to get a nice range of line width from it. This and maybe a fine nib and I'll be all set for a travel kit. This is the first page I drew with it.

Hand. Incorporated a few techno from Lisa Congdon’s Inktober class on Creative Bug. Seems to evoke a little something.

My sketchbook: Thoughts about the season. Apples everywhere. Birds flying south. Ink and watercolor.

An old sketch from my cat Yana who loves to spent time in the garden between the flowers. Coloured pencil on Canson Drawing paper.

Spooky sketch filled in with Golden Fluid Acrylic paint in Carbon Black. The background and other colors are watercolor.

It's not a KFC chicken, it's the ATS chicken, 'cause everything looks better in American Tribal Style (if you don't know it, google it and enjoy all the beauty of the dance and costumes ;)

3rd day of Inktober - today's prompt: "roasted" - I decided to play with fire ;-)

"The tree-dwelling species are more solitary"

part-B

I collaged "Krampus is Coming For You" together with my own monoprints as well as one of my drawings of Japanese Noh masks that I cut out of an old sketchbook. For the second piece, I had a drawing of Marie Antoinette as an ice cream cone, so I gave her a dress, put a background of my monoprints on her, etc. Then I added more cherries, and the circle reminded me of a clock, so I inked in the arms accordingly.

Whether I make a stamp, pattern or a digital colored illustration, it always starts with a drawing. Preferably made with a 0.05 fineliner.
