#medium nib

Some Embroideries I've done since I quit my job!

The first is a re-creation of an earlier attempt from 2009 (the second image) from a Cosplay from Babylon 5.

and the final one is a K-Mart kit of a Galah that I threw out the instructions for and did my own thing on.

I love how I go "okay I have this much money left in my budget for this month" and then TWSBI drops a new color of their eco pen

matcha green. . . for $35.50. . .

hope I never pay this much $$$ for something as silly as a pen ever again (but I can’t say I regret it)

Mini rant about fountain pen ink reviews and swatches on online stores.

I hate when stores only show a swab/ink muddler/eyedropper swatch. Sure it shows the properties of the ink, but what's this gonna do for me when most fountain pen inks are used to... I don't know... WRITE? Like I know some people do use them for traditional art and calligraphy, but I think there's a larger demographic of regular fountain pen uses with a f/m nib than someone who has a 2.3 mm nib.

Whatever, it's better than those who don't even post a swatch AT ALL. Like thanks for showing me what the packaging looks like. How am I supposed to imagine what it looks like on paperrrrr GOD HELP MEEE /lh Looking at you Ink Institute.

people in the fountain pen fandom be like "i am enjoying my kaweco sport"

i got to hold a fountain pen in my hand for the first time yesterday and i haven't stopped thinking about her since...

honestly it’s pretty crazy to see how much my inking style has changed from last month when I got my nahvalur for the first time

It's so sad to me that the only art mediums that get taken seriously in a traditional sense are painting. As someone who never quite gelled with paint mediums, it's sad to see so many amazing pieces relegated to the sidelines for not being acrylic or oils or watercolors. Pastels, pencils colored or otherwise, charcoals, inks (when not being used in washes like a paint), markers, the list goes on. They deserve as much attention and respect, but are just seen as the stepping stones in learning to paint or from idea to a final painting instead of fully realized beautiful art pieces of their own.

mmmmmm glitter grey ink

that peeled Jamis (lol thank you for showing us this) work-in-progress you posted... do you do the inking traditionally? that's so cool! :D

yeah!! i sketch with non-photo blue pencils that don't show up on scanner, and then i ink on top of that with kuretake black ink.

it looks fancy but this is THE cheapest way of doing comics, since i draw on paper i use a looot of ink and this stuff lasts a long time! i used to ink with markers but it got really expensive in the end. also with dip pen nibs you get wonderful variation on the line, unlike with markers so i heartily recommend it to everyone! i started drawing tigers with wooden pencils, then i switched to markers and finally to ink and i cannot emphasize how good the ink is compared to every other medium.

I'm honestly astounded. I thought this was going to be one of those things I would get frustrated at for not being good at it quickly enough. It was never in the plans for it to get this far. I was never that much into art when I started.

Going by my finished wips folder, I've finished 142 digital drawings since I first got a tablet in 2021

DAY 6267

Jalsa, Mumbai Apr 13, 2025/Apr 14 Sun/Mon 12:01 am

Birthday - EF - Prasha Ganesh Monday, 14 April ... wishes for this special day from the entire Ef family ..🌺

🪔 ,

April 14 .. birthday happiness to Ef Prasha Ganesh from Sri Lanka .. and Ef Urvashi Sharma .. 🙏🏽❤️🚩

A dear friend sent me this 👆🏼 .. old times reminded .. it used to be a constant in the home .. now in a smaller size and being brought out in retrospective .. generous words .. not deserving but grateful and obliged ..

🙏

🌺

The age of handwriting has been overtaken by the punches on the black square .. and the generation of the young now in their curriculum are giving their work here on this medium .. and no one writes ..

But in the generosity of Abhishek, he gave me a pen , as a gesture that acknowledged that his father still often prefers to use his hands in the usage of the ink .. often enough ..

... and also did you know , another factor that Abhishek picked up from the store he picked the pen, that the nibs of pens are designed separately for the left handed, and the right handed .. !!

generosity ... as is the generosity of them the young and the old and the well wishers at the Sunday meetings ..

... blessed this morning by the Lord Ganesha at Siddhivinayak , by presenting to me the blessings draped over my shoulder .. and the blessings at the mandir at Babulnath ..

Keep well .. keep connected and remain ever in prayers 🙏

Amitabh Bachchan
