#ballpointpensketch of an #animalskull, well most of it anyway. Drawn in a Handbook Journal Co. #sketchbook I picked up locally at @arlenesartist with a @bauxpenco Bic pen. https://www.instagram.com/p/COj0oamDcD0/?igshid=1sruljaj2vd3q

I am late to the game on this one so here is a quick sketch of a Secretary Bird. #nationaldrawabirdday https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbqNdwjALi/?igshid=oj84uftmko4q

Calling this one done. Had trouble withe the Pelikan pen for some reason and had to switch to a Zebra 402. Zebras still one of the best ballpoints around. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMu4cgDjA0I/?igshid=iq8l9r2sw0ir

Went on a short bike ride today and now I am back at a ballpoint sketch I started yesterday. Sketchbook is by @fabriano1264 and the pen is by @pelikan_passion. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsnrvojP3g/?igshid=onwi1ro93zpr

These two work really well together, one light and one dark...perfect for sketching. @musgravepencil got the 600 News just right. I drew this in my new @shopdenik sketchbook, the paper is great for pencils. I drew this using a tutorial I had found on Pinterest, when I find it again I will post it here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJxSZ9hjwLm/?igshid=1damh36kb96cv

Quick sketch of an African Shoebill, this is my first drawing of the new year. This probably took me 45 minutes or so. I just received some of these pencils from @bee901co so I wanted to test them out in my new sketchbook from @shopdenik. So far I like both. The pencils are manufactured by @musgravepencil and are very nice, I love the black and gold. The Denik sketchbook is really nice too. Paper is nice and thick and this one is 81/2 x 11. Excellent sketchbook for the price. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJiJxv_jBoX/?igshid=ngxxpr8hhkr3

I found this picture of a skull with really long braids online. Not sure why I wanted to draw this, just something I haven't seen before and anatomy interests me. I did this in a @dalerrowney1783 sketchbook using some vintage Eagle Turquoise drawing pencils and a vintage J.L. Hammett Intermediate 222 pencil. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIujDimjXKP/?igshid=zftaszrzzdg2

I have been working way too much lately. Have to get back to drawing every day. Have to use up all these sketchbooks and pencils somehow. :) Ginger sleeping next to me on the couch. Drawn in a Handbook travelogue sketchbook with various Japanese pencils. This one took me about 15 minutes. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHo2tgXDxIa/?igshid=12tex4benziwv

Day 4 of #inktober2020 and going a little #oldschool with this one. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBz6DljXjT/?igshid=4ulfe8asmdol

Well it is that time of the year again and while I am sad I can't go to #nycc this year, I can still try and make drawing everyday a habit and improve my drawing at the same time. Here is day one of #inktober2020, prompt is #fish. Used my @spokedesign pen on @cansonpaper drawing pad with 70 lb bright white paper. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0x-C6D0tC/?igshid=imk159n14og6

Found this big boy at the pool skimmer this morning. Surprisingly docile and non-aggressive. I coaxed him onto a stick and placed him away from the pool. Such a cool looking spider, so furry! Would probably make a good pet. Check out the fangs in the video. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7TC_7jV6v/?igshid=1q9f7bkeqhzkt

I am on the hunt for this Pokemon this morning. Forget catching them all, this one will do. Drawn in a pocket notebook from @alio.modo.design with my @karaspenco #ink with Schmidt fineliner refill. This refill works so well on this 80 GSM paper, glides effortlessly. And I think the Ink pen design is my favorite from Karas yet. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjcVSuDDZC/?igshid=t3du0ziiztn3

Sketching some ideas for more underwater fish subs. Used a Pentel Orenz 0.5 mechanical pencil on regular copier paper. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDftq4ujAYS/?igshid=z0uts0yv0zfv

Got some lovely handmade pocket notebooks by @alio.modo.design delivered yesterday all the way from Scotland. Neil provided these to me for the purposes of reviewing and I paid shipping, really a win-win in my book. My first impression is that these are sturdy and wellmade with a nice attention to detail. Stay tuned for my review! Also, shoutout to the @orbitkey Nest in the background. I just received mine last week and so far I am impressed, I am glad I went with the Ash color. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDT0nHADgdR/?igshid=t3f0d6ileaig

Another fish submersible. I had sketched this a while ago but just came back to it.I wanted to add some color to this one as well and happy with the result. Used Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils, Platinum Preppy pens and it was drawn in a Black Elk pocket notebook from Write Notepads & Co. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDFzfVzDZBa/?igshid=18y6y8mgzy7xq
