Kitty cat meow!


I had a spare 90 minutes and wanted to try the challenge of drawing a furry animal. I've never drawn a cat before and a good friend of mine is kitty-crazy so I thought I'd give it a go. This was drawn using a 0.7mm Crayola Pro Liquid Ink Roller. It's a nice pen - very smooth flow and good black ink but it's a bit wide to draw with really. A 0.5mm would have been better. I'm quite pleased with the end result. It's not perfect but for my first kitty I think it's OK. :)

Dip pen doodles

Being a fan of ballpoints for drawing I thought I'd try out the "real thing" and got hold of a dip-pen handle and two nibs (they cost next to nothing). I already had some ink that's been sitting in my art box for years. Amazingly it's still 100% perfect. :) Over the course of the last couple of days I created a couple of doodles. One of them is the picture above. A doodle is indeed all it is - I just picked up the pen and idly started tracing shapes and let the pen decide what they would become. The tree was drawn on a bit of white card. Media: Dip pen with Hiro Leonardt 6H nib. Windsor & Newton inks and a small brush.

Ostrich (a.k.a. more fun with a pen)

Still in the mood to draw things with my crayola roller ball I thought I'd tackle that most hairy and long-necked of birds; the ostrich. This was drawn on slightly better quality paper than the cat in the previous post but the pen was the same. Now, if only I had a 0.25mm pen... ;)
