| Sketch of the David by Raphael |
While I enjoy the meditative quality of pen hatching,
dipping into the ink bottle every few strokes is the part that annoys me. Talk
about tedious! The whole time I was working on the copy of Raphael’s David this morning, I longed for my fountain pens. This
afternoon I gave it another shot, this time with my Pilot Falcon (FA) nib (plus some lines with a Pilot Metropolitan fine nib, which is finer than the FA). Although
dip pens have an expressive flexiness that’s hard to beat, I think my Pilot FA
is nearly as flexy – and certainly more convenient and more fun to use.
Ahhh – I do love fountain pens!
