ink – koalie’s contemplations in markup

#inktober2022

I drew again in my small sketchbook Canson art book universal (14×21 cm / 4×6 in), using individually or together a black Pentel brushpen, Kuretake fudegokochi black pen, Sakura Pigma Micron 003 black fine liner (very very fine), Kuretake light grey Brush Writer, and a white brush pen which doesn’t work too well anymore.

For the first time since I started doing the challenge every year in 2016, I have missed days because I didn’t like these prompts. In fact it’s the first time in those seven years that I found the list mostly terrible.

Art: cormorant fishing

Tonight’s artwork, framed in white: Cormorant fishing. Somewhere in China. Near a blossom-laden old tree. There are hills rising from the mist, and a temple sits at the top of a hill, under a big red sun.

Black, grey, pink and red brushpens, water brush, on watercolour Montval Canson paper. 10×15 cm (4×6 in.)

#inktober2021

I didn’t spend a lot of time on each drawing and selected only subjects I really wanted to draw.

All done on my small sketchbook Canson art book universal (format 14×21 cm), using a Pentel black brushpen, a Kuretake fudegokochi black pen, a Kuretake light grey Brush Writer in many cases, and in the cases of the last two, that same pen in Geranium Red.
