I've decided that I really, really enjoy using pen and ink for sketching. I have a load of nibs I've never used and the sensation of dragging a nib across paper while the metal tip spreads open and catches the fibers, has always reminded me of nails on a chalkboard. This is exactly why I've avoided it.
When I took character design with Dan Holland, he brought in his wonderful sketch books, filled to the brim with sketches that could inspire the least artistic person to draw. My most favorite of his sketches were done with pen and ink. This is why I began to experiment with the little nibs that lived a lonely life in a little box on my desk.
Here are two little pieces I did today.
