Quick rapidograph sketch
Art by @TashQ
In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

If you like Rapidographs you might find Japanese fountain pens to be right up your alley! Consider a trio of Pilot Kakunos with EF, F, and M nibs. Good way to start. The night thing about fountain pens is you can hold them at a natural angle. The Rapidographs really want to be used vertically. Nice sketch!

@JunkyardSam Thanks so much for the recommendation and advice, I really appreciate it, I'm always keen to try new pens! Love your art by the way :)

It is really nice, you shouldn't be insecure about your skills at all!
