I used to draw often and now only when I have something in mind. Wouldn't it be cool if we all could squeeze in a bit of drawing every single day?mizu designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148756800806960402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102011.post-35915244715799569102008-01-29T14:15:00.000-05:002008-01-29T14:15:00.000-05:00I love to use fountain pens to sketch!

I just adore the lovely line quality I get with the fountain pens nib and it feels so luxurious. Another awesome drawing tool is my Japanese brush pen. I have two of these pens that my father sent me from Japan. You can get them now in the U.S. (http://www.dickblick.com/zz207/46/) The drawing tip is an actual brush (made with hair). It uses ink cartridges similar to fountain pen cartridges. You can get a beautiful variety of line using these wonderful brush pens!Patricia Phare-Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059087712212228191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102011.post-10804190670749991212008-01-28T17:56:00.000-05:002008-01-28T17:56:00.000-05:00I didn't used to be a huge sketcher.

I wanted to be but I was out of practice and unsure of myself. <BR/><BR/>Even Picasso could have gotten rusty if he had not done it long enough. <BR/><BR/>But you have to do it to get better. I am a firm believer that almost anybody can draw if they work at it enough. Some just need to work harder and some will not only have it come easier but that ease will reflect in the lines.<BR/><BR/>That is where drawing in ink comes in for me. It is uncomfortable at first but in the long run it pays off. As long as my first and last sketchbook drawings look good then I am happy!Marissa L.

All of your talk of sketching though finally motivated me to pull out my tiny moleskine journal last night and do a sketch before bed. It wasn't great, but it was a start considering how rusty I am!Nutsy Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942363769302691869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102011.post-9408812379576919792008-01-28T10:15:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:15:00.000-05:00Perforated pages are key!
