Inktober 2022 Day 4: Fountain Pentel

This was what I planned to draw on day 3, but it needed too much thinking.

A late September art update, right before Bikeartober

A late September art update, right before Bikeartober

Making postcards during the San Juans Tour in August It’s been a few months since I checked in with you fine folks about my continued journey with art. So far this year I’ve used both watercolors and dip ink pens for the first time in decades. This felt good, and I kept on experimenting with those dip pens. But it’s been quite the drought since then. I’ve sporadically added to my journal comics…

2022-06-08 Girl drawing- ~3/4ths Blind Contour vs Contour

2022-06-08 Girl drawing- Mostly Blind Contour vs Contour

From June 8, 2022. a mostly blind contour drawing & mostly straight-up contour drawing of this photo from chommang_drawings‘s “Sketching Reference” Pinterest board https://www.pinterest.co.kr/pin/569986896599083467/ . (rest of his board, if you’re interested: https://www.pinterest.co.kr/chommang_drawing/sketching-reference_chommang/ )

LEFT: ~3/4ths Blind Contour. ~3:24-3:30pm

RIGHT: ~1/4ths Blind Contour - “Croquis” drawing (like Chommang). 3:31-4:14pm

MINI JOURNAL

[On the contour drawing] TBH, I gave up after

I drew her upper body too big,

I drew her face & hands too wrong,

+ Face itself looks good, but not too much like the original reference.

I realized I was struggle more w/ the head & hands than w/ the rest of the body.

SELF CRITIQUES:

+ 1/4ths blind contour: you capture the facial features pretty accurately; pretty good observational skills there

- the position of each feature needs work

Practice drawing faces more (croquis)

Re-develop drawing hands (croquis & simple structure)

**Subpoint to 1&2: Sketch guidelines in pencil/erasable lead 1st

*Additional approach: observational learning & cartooning/simplification (boxes)/triangles

ART SUPPLIES

Ink: Zebra V-301 Fountain Pen (+ included ink cartridge)

Wash: Pentel Aquash Waterbrush (Flat) [now Pentel Vistage Waterbrush (Flat)] & tap water

Notes: Faber Castell TK 9400 Clutch Pencil (2 mm) & Uni Mitsubishi Lead Holder Refill (2 mm - F)

I've been getting SO into brush pens recently... I've been using Zebra brush pens for ages, but they're not as hardy as I like. The Pentel Pocket Brush has become my new best friend, though. The flow is beautiful and the ink is so pigmented.

Also yeah, that is absolutely a tiny Nepeta Leijon off to the side.

#open mic night #btw the pigma pro brushes are AWFUL #the felt tip just has a way too spongey texture which messed with the bounce #the prismacolor is marginally better? but the ink is meh #tbh just stick to tombows if you want disposable brush pens #pentel pocket brush is great if you want to give bristle brush pen a run #i've heard the kuretake is worth the investment if you really enjoy fountain brush pens though #myart #valentimes

[blanchebees]

Would you mind giving us a little tour of your traditional art supplies? Your stuff is real cool :)

I would love to! And thank you so much 😊

First i got my trusty Prismacolor Col erase pencils, i use them the most.

Sometimes i use this fountain pen, it's a gift so i didn't choose the style of the nib, etc. But it's nice for when i want a different feeling.

Pentel fude pen for broader strokes, i filled it with grey rohrer and klingner ink for shading.

A basic ballpoint pen, for smaller details

For inking details.

For paper i love using a5 sketchbooks so i can carry them around, my fave brands are leuchtturm1917, pentalic, art creation and moleskine, as long as the paper is 140gsm or more.

Somewhat chaotic doodle/drawing page! I’m very fond of this brush pen I have, the Pentel GFKP (used for Black Jack and Hyakkimaru — the one on the left side). It’s refillable but only with black ink sadly; I’m thinking of trying to fill a water brush with fountain pen ink for a similar effect in different colors that can be switched out and refilled.

The voracious Almlaeni

My response to this week's BestiaryPosting challenge from @maniculum

Not so much time to spend on it this week, so Pentel brush pen over initial pencil sketch. I've pulled out a fine-nib fountain pen to potentially use in next week's challenge (so I don't need to concentrate so much on maintaining the correct line thickness) but I need to work out which ink to use.

Thanks again to @maniculum for posting these challenges - I'm still having a lot of fun with them, they've given me something to think about and focus on during heavy weeks, and I've done more arty stuff since you started running this than in the whole... probably at least the last decade :D

I'm definitely on the lookout for some good resources for animal anatomy and musculature (birds tend to be so fluffy they're somewhat different to draw), so happy to accept any suggestions! :)

As ever, reasoning under the cut...

[Long etymological digression redacted] The Almlaeni is a rapacious beast and craves blood. Its strength lies in its chest or its jaws, least of all in its loins. It cannot turn its neck around. It is said to live sometimes on its prey, sometimes on earth and sometimes, even, on the wind. The female Almlaeni bears children only in the month of May, when it thunders. Such is the Almlaeni’s cunning that it does not catch food for its babies near its lair but far away.

So, we know that this creature is a predator, definitely a carnivore, and 'its strength lies in its chest or its jaws' - I decided its strength lies in both, so we have a creature with heavy musculature around its jaws, and I tried to make it quite barrel chested. Given that the next section mentions it cannot turn its head meant I have it a very short, very muscular neck, which ties in with the chest and powerful jaws.

Now, if I wasn't so much of a coward, I would have done something weird and inventive with this, like @pomrania or @rautavaara or other artists have done with some of the other prompts. My first thought when I read 'can't turn its head' was either a frog or a whale, which could still have worked in some capacity, given than whales are mammals, and that this creature exists... I liked the idea of the frog leaping (based on the continued description below) but couldn't work out how to make it look aesthetically pleasing without turning its head, so I ended up going much more traditional again...

Given that it craves blood, I can't imagine that its particularly happy subsiting on earth or the wind, but it's always nice to have options...

If it has to hunt its prey at night, it goes here and there to a sheepfold, and lest the sheepdogs catch its scent and wake the shepherds, it goes upwind. And if a twig or anything, under the pressure of its paw, makes a noise, it nips the paw as a punishment. The Almlaeni’s eyes shine in the night like lamps. It has this characteristic, that if it sees a man first, it takes away his power of speech and looks at him with scorn, as victor over the voiceless. If it senses that the man has seen it first, it loses its fierceness and its power to run. Solinus, who has a lot to say about the nature of things, says that on the tail of this animal there is a tiny patch of hair which is a love-charm; if the Almlaeni fears that it may be captured, it tears the hair out with its teeth; the charm has no power unless the the hair is taken from the Almlaeni while it is still alive.

So, we know this creature is pretty smart, but at the same time, if it snaps a twig, it nips at its own paw... we'll put that down to negative reinforcement. Obviously this is the position I chose to illustrate it in!

This is definitely making me think that this creature might be related to the Wutugald...

They eye shining like lamps, I figured probably indicates they have a reflective coating. I figured it would be cool if the eyes were really large, so I took a bit of influence from the Troodon from the Telltale Jurassic Park game (if you've played it you'll know - it's the 'lets add body horror to the JP franchise' dinosaur...)

We also have the small patch of fur on its tail, that it's keeping tucked beneath its body.

Almlaenis mate on no more than twelve days in the year. They can go hungry for a long time, and after long fasts, eat a large amount. Ethiopia produces Almlaenis with manes, so diversely coloured, men say, that no hue is lacking. A characteristic of Ethiopian Almlaenis is that they leap so high that they seem to have wings, going further than they would by running. They never attack men, however. In winter, they grow long hair; in summer, they are hairless. The Ethiopians call them [redacted].

So, I went with an Ethiopian Almlaenis, with its summer coat (i.e. naked), since this wasn't something I'd really had the opportunity to draw so far with these challenges. I still wanted to pop a nod in to the mane (even if I'm drawing in black and white, so missing out the fun colours), so we have some remaining rough hairs around its neck and upper back.

It was interesting having to draw a furless creature, so I took a lot of inspiration (particularly around the head) from sphynx cats. The dentition is also from cats.

This is also where we find out it has a very impressive leap, so I had to start thinking about animals that could leap so high, it was almost like they were flying. As noted above, I was tempted to go with something froggy, but given the rest of my design decisions, I ended up being inspired by kangaroos. It does make a bit of a weird contrast, with the broad, stocky chest and long, bouncy legs, but I think it works. I wasn't planning on going quite so literal with the kangaroo legs, but they're really interesting, and looking at the feet you can definitely see how they could be really dangerous (the long, central toe and claw are taken directly from kangaroos, as are most of the proportions of the rear legs.

The tail was also influenced by kangaroos - I figured it it was leaping through the air, it would need a long, powerful tail to balance it out!

How do you take your notes?? Love your blog <3

Thank you!

I use a modified version of the Cornell note taking system! I’ll explain it below.

I use multiple things to take my notes:

Black fountain pen (Lamy Safari medium nib or Platinum Preppy fine nib)

Multicolored gel pens (Zebra Sarasa, 0.5)

Highlighters (Zebra Midliners 5ct)

Clear stickie notes of various sizes

Black permanent pen (for writing on plastic, 0.3)

Mechanical pencil and Eraser (Pentel Graphgear 500, 0.5; General’s Factis Eraser)

These all have a specific meaning to me within my notes so that I can easily see what I am looking for on a page at a glance.

I take my main notes in pencil so I can easily change them as I need to, I often mis-spell things so this is useful for that or if I got information wrong and need to change it

Gel Pens:

I use these to separate different sections of notes that are within the same larger note module. I also use them to add information in margins when they are big enough as they are easily distinguishable from the pencil.

Fountain Pen:

I use this to do my main heading and date for normal notes, and for notes that do not directly apply to the class but are still in that classes notebook. (My history notebook has history notes in pencil and the notes we took on writing in fountain pen. I know I’ll be using the writing notes a lot so I want to find them easily)

Highlighters:

The highlighters I use come in a five pack, and there are green, tan, grey, light pink, and brown colors. Each one has a highlighter tip and a bullet tip.

Green: highlight definitions or very important information. I only ever use this color in this way so that if I see green flipping through my notebook I know I need to go back at look at it no matter what

Tan: Context, sub definitions, or extra information. This is the color I go to after the green

Grey and Pink: I use these colors interchangeably as the page needs to highlight things I personally think I will want to go back and read

Brown: This color is too dark for normal highlighting so I use it to separate different note modules

Plastic Stickies and Pen:

These are for extra context when I have no room and for adding diagrams. I most often use them for when I have taken a full page of notes from the textbook before class and the professor adds extra information during lecture. I prefer the clear notes to the (more ‘aesthetic’) brown and tan ones because I can see through them and more easily remove them or lift them up to see the notes underneath. I do need a special pen to mark on them without smudging, but that is not an issue for me.

As the are clear, if I want to add a diagram, I can pull it up on my phone, add a stickie over it, and trace it with the pen. So no more messy diagrams.

Note taking:

I have two different times when I am taking notes and the things I do change order depending on that. If I am taking notes from something like a textbook, a documentary, or a slideshow on my laptop, I do all my highlighting and extras as I am taking the actual notes. When I am in lecture, I take my notes all in pencil except for the note sections in pen, then go back during breaks in the lecture and highlight/add where I need to.

I take very very extensive notes, so do not be alarmed if you don’t have a lot of notes. You want to have at least (In order of importance):

Definitions and Big Ideas

Important Context

Diagrams

After you have those, you can add things that you want to remember, things that are less important but maybe still good to know, and extra facts or figures.

My note taking follows this pattern:

Section Title (pen)

Definition word - definition (always highlighted in green)

Idea (level of importance determines green, tan, pink or grey, or no highlight)

Sub ideas

Bulleted under idea

Sometimes the sub ideas also have sub ideas that are bulleted under them

I don’t bother with the summary in the Cornell system as I don’t usually have time in a lecture to do them, if you have time and want to do it, go for it!

Handwriting

My handwriting can vary from a little shaky but very legible to scribbled based on how fast I am writing. If you don’t have great handwriting, don’t worry about it as long as you can read it later. It is not easy to notice this right after you have written it because you know what it says, but if you even think it might be a little too messy, erase it and write it again. You’ll thank yourself later.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the askbox!
