My review of 2 affordable flex fountain pens that are good for drawing

Read the review on Parkablogs HERE. 

sketches during the April sketchwalk with Urban Sketchers Singapore at Bishan.

Sailor Pro Gear fine nib with Lamy black ink + gouache and watercolour. The filbert brush I used today holds less water and creates a more pastey effect when I paint with it. And I do like that effect. It's easier to control the paint. My pen ink wasn't waterproof. But then I didn't use that much water so it didn't bleed much.

This might be one of the nicest parks in Singapore that I've been to. Hunt 102 in an Ackerman pump pen with Pelikan Brilliant Black (semi-waterproof ink) + watercolour. I love how thin the lines go for the hunt 102. Catches a little on my bumpy paper. But a delight to draw with.

Learning lines

Learning that Toppi style with those beautiful lines. These are his drawings here: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/sergio%20toppi Breaking it down, it looks like the hatch lines can go in any direction and they do blend into solid blacks. And also leaving ample solid white areas.

I drew this while sitting a Provence Bakery at Holland Village. A lady nearby was going through math homework with her little boy. The boy looked like he was ready to run off. But he had to solve the math problems on the page first. Waterman EF + Hero pen + photoshop
