fountain pen ink and only fountain pen ink, a bobster parking lot and bedtime sketch. Waterman M nib fountain pen with Parker Super Quink permanent black ink on 9x12 Daler & Rowney Drawing paper. kind of want to color this but my boss, er i meant wife, says "leave it alone" and "draw another picture if you want to color something". i am really blessed to have a partner who encourages my art. thank you baby G!

Day 955 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo
another bobster bedtime snack. this is a Waterman M nib and a Parker 45 M stub nib fountain pens over a 4B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil gesture sketch, then colored with Colerase pencils on 9x12 Daler & Rowney Drawing paper. once again i used a b+w laser printed sheet as a reference so i didn't get the exact range of colors/tones/shades shown in the color reference photo, but this was fun to draw as a kind of quickie improv sketch.

Day 956 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo
this is a newly revisited rejuvenated Parker Arrow (?) EF nib (?) fountain pen over 4B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil sketch on 9x12 Daler & Rowney Drawing paper.
i purchased the paper at my local Walmart for about $3 a pad, and it is really nice drawing paper; however this wally world has gone ghetto (it is only about a year old) so they haven't restocked this paper and some others in a month or more. they also dropped some coffee brands (hey, if it sells out quick why restock it? just stock the slower moving brands right?) and quite a few other products just leaving the shelves empty. kind of sad situation. bah.


day 957

Day 957 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo
another bobster bedtime snack, started in a parking lot earlier. this is 4B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil on Pacon Art1st Marker paper 9x12. this is a really smooth paper with very little tooth so it doesn't take up much of the graphite. he was fun to draw, harder to get the drawing looking like him than it might seem. not sure what if anything else i might do to this one. but of course fountain pen ink comes to mind. lol.

another bobster bedtime sketch. this is 2B 0.5mm mech pencil on Pacon 12x9 Art1st Marker Pad. not real thrilled with my results on this one but it is what it is. lol. think i might ink this one with a Parker Arrow fountain pen F nib i just played around with yesterday trying to fix a boogered up nib.

another bedtime drawing with a Parker Arrow EF nib i am trying to get straightened out over 6B Castells Jumbo 9000 gesture then shaded with the same graphite smudged with a tortillon, drawn on back of the front cover for a pad of paper 9x12, so the paper is glossy high kaolin paper (like the paper magazines are printed on but thicker).

Day 970 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo
this was a quick gesture in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil which was inked with a Parker Arrow F nib fountain pen and Parker Super Quink ink on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12. i added the left hand and the hornet to the reference photo trying to create scene that would help explain the guy's pose...

Flapper (wip)
Day 980 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo
another bobster parking lot gesture sketch in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil on Pacon 9x12 Marker Pad. the gesture took about 15 or 20 minutes which seems quick even to "speed racer" bobby. ;-) she was a good bit of fun to draw, though she has some strong features that were (for me at least) not that easy to capture. then i inked it with a Parker 45 M stub fountain pen and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink, used an 8B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite for darker areas. smudged with a chamois.

Day 982 Daily Drawing Challenge reference photo
this is Parker 45 M stub nib fountain pen with Parker Super Quink permanent black ink over a quick sketch in 8B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12 paper, smudged after the inking with paper towel. this one was quite fun to draw. i bought the pen new late 60s or maybe as late as 70. lol. i really love it. the ink might be 15 or twenty years old. it's been a long strange trip.

another bobster bedtime drawing. this is Parker Arrow F nib fountain pen with Parker Super Quink permanent black ink over an 8B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite then all smudged with a piece of chamois, on 9x12 drawing paper, likely a sheet of Canson XL Recycled. lol. this one was kind of tough for me. ;-) but it was fun.

this is an 8B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil parking lot sketch inked with a Parker 45 Stub nib suing Parker Super Quink permanent black ink then smudged with chamois on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12. she was fun to draw although i didn't "nail it" with my effort. i might color this later, maybe give her a purple and black outfit, not just the black in the reference.

this is a 2B 0.5mm mech pencil on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12 midnight sketch inked with a Parker 45 F nib fountain pen using Parker Super Quink permanent black ink. i wasn't super pleased with my earlier effort, so i redrew him here as a more cropped portrait. he was a lot of fun to draw, certainly an iconic figure.

A bedtime sketch in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil inked with a Waterman F nib fountain pen using Parker Super Quink permanent black ink on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad, about 8x11. smudged with a large paper tortillon. she was kind of fun to draw, harder than i initially thought it would be to get the proportions close to the photo.

Flyboy
Day 995 daily drawing challenge reference photo
a bedtime drawing in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12. he was harder to get proportioned than he looked like he was gonna be, harder to draw than the buildings in the foreground. i am having fun doing these though, each one teaches me something. can you read the name on the building to the right? it's obviously a government building... ;-)

Day 996 daily drawing challenge reference photo
this started out as another bedtime drawing. this was originally done in 2B 0.5mm mech pencil inked with a Waterman F nib fountain pen using Parker Super Quink permanent black ink on Pacon Art1st Marker Pad 9x12. he was fun to draw. BUT! i didn't think i got decent proportions on the original, so this version is 9x14 with some further adjustments to the body dimensions. so he is taller, but not just stretched. ;-) photoshop mods.

This is 8B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil inked with a Parker 45 stub nib and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink with some Prismacolor and Conte White drawing pencil on Pacon Art1st Drawing paper 9x12.

Day 1002 daily drawing challenge reference photo
this is different for me, but i used the tan or light brown cardboard back from an empty 9x12 tablet of drawing paper and a white Faber-Castell PITT soft pastel pencil along with an 8B Castell Jumbo 9000 graphite pencil. he was fun to draw, i'd like to try this again. this side of the cardboard has no tooth to speak of, so you can't touch or lay your arm /hand on what you have drawn. so that was interesting.

this is a bedtime sketch with a Parker 45 stub nib and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink over my graphite, some Conte white crayon highlighting, and a touch of Prismacolor to tone the hair, eyes, and lips, all on 9x12 manilla paper. the paper is not real good for FP, it feathers for one thing and it was hard to lay down a fine line.

this is a pen and ink drawing done with a Parker 45 M stub fountain pen lightly toned with some graphite and Prismacolor. the original drawing is on a 9x12 sheet of Pacon Art1st drawing paper , but for this version i deleted the drawing's background and substituted the star field. digital mayhem on traditional media. lol.

Wow. New discovery all over again. Eagle Charco pencils and Eberhard Faber Koal-Black charcoal pencils. I drew a gesture sketch with a Wolff's B Carbon Drawing pencil and then used a 4B Koal-Blak to accentuate the linework. Colored this a bit with some dayglo pencils. All on yellow construction paper (Pacon) 9x12. this is a scan of the drawing

more different. this is a bedtime sketch i finished today, done with Conte No3 Black Drawing pencil and charcoal pencils in 4B and 6B, and pastels, PITT pastel pencils in browns and black and some gray sticks, touch of greens. all on a 9x12 sheet of blue cardstock. eye catchlights are Bic witeout correction fluid. this is my first pastel piece in quite a long time and it was fun. kind of cartoonish but that's what i do. lol.

Fashion Jester
Day 1025 daily drawing challenge reference photo
this is a high res scan, previously posted a cellphone photo. A bedtime drawing. I drew the body with 2B Castells Jumbo 9000 graphite and inked it with a Waterman F nib fountain pen and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink. Then i colored the outfit with Sanford's Design Ebony pencil and a Prismacolor scarlet red pencil and a charcoal pencil, smudged with a tortillon. Then i added her face with a Wolff's BB Carbon pencil, inked that with the Waterman FP, and used the scarlet red Prismacolor pencil again. Finally blended it all with a Prismacolor "Blender" pencil and a piece of chamois. the whites of her eyes are done with Conte White Extra Fine Drawing pencil. Added the border motif with Prismacolor pencils. this is on the "wrong side" of a 9x12 sheet of Pacon Art1st Drawing paper. some of these tools i haven't used in a long time so it's like rediscovering joy. one of our friends observed that nobody could have legs as long as those on the model. i am just glad i got them to fit on the paper. ;-)

Tortoise study
day 1027 daily drawing challenge reference photo
this was a bedtime experiment. i am playing with this gray construction paper, 9x12 Pacon Art1st. but what i tried here was to use Conte No3 Extra Fine Drawing pencil in black and some Conte No3 white drawing crayon followed with PITT pastel pencils in browns. the conte and the pastels are quite different, the conte being waxy, so applying pastels over them doesn't smear them and they reduce the pastel's coverage, how much sticks. smudged it all with a tortillon and then chamois. finally redrew most of my outlines with a Koal-Black charcoal pencil, and a touch to the deeper shadows. the catchlights are homage to my comic book form.

this scan was another bedtime sketch. 2B 0.5mm mech pencil inked partially with a Parker 45 F nib fountain pen and Parker Super Quink permanent black ink then some toning with Prismacolor white pencil and a touch of pink and some browns, along with Sanford's Design Ebony black pencil all on a sheet of 9x12 red cardstock. note that the ink isn't as prominent over the pencil on this medium. i am thinking i need to clean my rapidographs again, throw down some india. that would be BLACK. i am not sure why i drew this on red except i wanted to see what i could get. anyway, here she is so far...


day 1029 comp
This file is named day 1029 comp.jpg.
Colonel Sansom was the commander of a five chopper squadron of Hornets, two man attack helicopters. The military life wasn't easy, but the meds were good and the psychotropics almost suppressed the realities of the job. Sansom had some of the latest nanonet technology wired throughout her cortex and when she was in the bird, she became part of it. As squadron commander Sansom was also virtually a part of the other birds and their crews. One big happy predator and a talented hunter-killer.
day 1029 and day 347 daily drawing challenge reference photos.
playing with my ink drawing of the figure for day 1029 in photoshop. the choppers are my version of the day 347 reference. used some slightly modified clipart for her insignia. i was thinking it might make a good opening panel for a graphic story about the colonel and the choppers and the world they live in.

day 1031 daily drawing challenge reference photo and a photo of his cap from "Alien". Assistant Engineer Samuel Brett (ID 724/R4-06J) 2069-2122 "Suffered minor brain damage during a cerebral detox procedure."
in the movie he meets his end by the alien, but i used the reference photo where he was a good bit older and i gave him his cap back. so it's an age progression for samuel brett had he lived. ;-) let's call it "reflections on the xenomorph".
this was a bedtime sketch day ago, No.2 Conte Extra Fine Drawing Pencil on Pacon Art1st Drawing Paper 9x12. last night at bedtime i added his hand holding one of his home-rolled cigs and the jacket and shirt from Alien. still thinking to ink this with india ink and rapidographs. so the Conte pencil does not erase very well on this paper, even using an electric eraser,
