Black Cat #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #cat #animals
Drew a picture of a cat that is black with a white belly. Wanted to practice drawing dark fur, something that I don’t do well yet. This cat was licking a goldendoodle on the back of a couch by a window, might finish drawing the scene later.

Betta Fish #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #fish #betta #fightingfish
Had a lot of fun drawing this betta fish. One of the most enjoyable drawings of fish I have done, even with lots of lines and scale patterns. Practice drawing flowers definitely helped with this one.

Archival Ink #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #dippen #glass
I drew a picture of a bottle of waterproof, archival ink. Today we witnessed murder and the attempted coverup by our federal government again, those actions can never be undone we cannot let them attempt to erase them either.

Monstera deliciosa #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #plants #botany #monstera
Got a monstera plant at Costco last year, it was labeled as a Thai Constellation, it’s growing nicely near an east facing window. I drew the second newest leaf, it had some cool coloration and fenestrations.

Dip Pen #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #dippen
Drew a picture of my Tachikawa dip pen (mine has a pink grip) with a Zebra G nib, sketched in pencil and then inked using the dip pen. I usually do my daily drawing with pencils and microns but had fun getting this out to draw with.

I think this is the smallest scale drawing of flowers I have done.

Drew a picture of a Pigma Micron 005 pen. I usually use bigger tips than this, but have been using the 005 size more often.

Squirtle #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #watercolor #pokemon #squirtle
My 3 year old wanted me to draw and color his favorite Pokemon. Tried to do it in Sugimori’s style that I remember from the box art and manual from the old games. Used printer paper and kids watercolors.

Tulip #art #drawing #ink #pen #penandink #flowers #tulips #garden #gardening
Drawn from a photo taken of tulips in our garden last April, tried some different techniques to render the leaves, kept the petals simple. The actual petals are bright pink with thick white edges. Try watercolors?
