Recently I started to travel a lot again and I don't really have motivation and time for drawing practice.
Today though I managed to get some:
This time I was experimenting with quick sketch. Instead of really looking at proportions between shapes I started with one shape and based whole drawing on circles with specific ratios.
That's why the nose it too big :bongoCat: It's easy to get lost when you loose reference and try to go faster with #drawing#art#watercolor
I also gave up on #fountainpen
Because I did not use it for two weeks straight it got dry and stopped working. I think the brush is better for me :blobcatcoffee:
@grayrattus Some pens are better than others when it comes to drying out. I've had some dry out in a matter of days, while others have been fine after a few years. I'd highly recommend pretty much any of the Platinum range. They have what they call a "Slip & Seal" cap, which allows you to leave the pen untouched for up to a year (sometimes more) without it drying out.
@toga@grayrattus Another vote for Platinum pens with slip-and-seal (which is most of them, even the super inexpensive ones like Preppy), they seal exceptionally well.
@grayrattus Strongly suggest trying Platinum Preppy, Starlet, or Plaisir before you give up on fountain pens. They’re rated not to dry out for 2 years.
And yes, it’s likely possible to fix the pens that dried up, take a pic of them and tell us what ink you used (or used stock cartridge) and we can help.
