Fountain pen scribbling (Patreon)

Recently I have been spending most of my time doing writing and editing for the RttS book, which is good! Need to get that done! But it's under NDA (and not visually impressive either way). When I haven't been doing that I've been fretting over the current Almost Real crowdfunding campaign and fooling around with fountain pens. 

My friend Deadwood Dross infected me with their pen obsession after sending me some of their surplus ink samples, pens, and a Tomoe River notebook that I've been burning through pages on. So here's some of the more notable doodles. Not all of the writing and art is mine but most of it is.

oster sublime is my very very favorite color! it doesnt work well in a fine nib without some other color mixed in to darken it though

I love the Organic studio sheen inks though they take so long to clean out of a pen. so I only use the pens I have you can use a bulb syringe on

Love these doodles! Also the effect of that Waldon Pond ink is beautiful. I know absolutely nothing about pen & ink stuff but I think it all looks so good!

This is the sort of thing historians will pour over when you’re a famous artist

Yeah I've been soaking the nib I last used Walden in for days and it's still blue on water changes... the sheen is impressive but it's also super smeary even after drying because of that shiny layer sitting on top of the paper. I think I prefer Walden diluted, honestly. It's so pigmented it's hard to tell it's blue at the regular concentration.

Sublime is pretty but I was having issues with it writing really dry, even on stub nibs. I might try adding some Vanness white lightning to my sample to see if it behaves better. It being light isn't really an issue for me though lol, one of my favorite writing inks right now is IWI's beginning of spring and that's an eye searing pastel chartreuse.

I've found you don't get that much smearing on heavier weight paper (but I only really draw on mix media paper so grain of salt). I found that I had to use a ink flush to finally get the pen clean will have to try it diluted next time I play with it though as I'd also like to see more of the blue

The ink pens turned out some cool sketches. It's cool to have something to play with while you've got two other big jobs you're working on.

Love these! Do you happen to remember which pens were used on the various pages? I may be coveting a couple of them ... !

I think these pages were mostly done with a Noodler's Ahab, Noodler's standard flex, Jowo 1.1 stub nib, Jowo extra fine nib, and a Moonman M2 of unknown nib size (medium?). Also some stuff with a brush. There's a ton of different inks in here but those are the pens.
