Quick inks on figure drawing

They always tell me  about my squiggly lines, I use them in all quick sketches regardless the subject. Ink has always been my favorite medium and when I discovered the combination of Stillman and Birn Paper, Lamy pens and Noodler’s ink I felt that from then on I could just draw anything and forget about struggling with materials to get the best flow, permanence and all the nuisance of adapting this to that and try that again. I can just concentrate on enjoying myself now 🙂

    Hello Laura, I saw your pen and ink drawings. Very nice. I wonder what do you think of the idea of covering over mistakes (unwanted ink marks) with an a typists’ correction fluid? In my terminology a result of using tcf in this manner results in “refined art” as opposed to a traditional “rough sketch” My profile has shows samples.

    Laura, you’ve convinced me to try a fountain pen. Today is the day — and early bday present for myself! Lamy here I come. Nice drawings!
