| 11/4/14 Diamine Sapphire, Diamine Grey and Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-yake inks, Lamy Safari pen, Canson XL 140 lb. paper |
It’s still raining. I decided to do another metasketch – of a
Lamy Safari pen and a bottle of Diamine Sapphire ink sketched with a Lamy
Safari pen and Diamine Sapphire ink! Don’t I get double metasketching points
for that? (The shadow is Diamine Grey,
and the flourish is Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-yake.)
I had at least two ulterior motives for this metasketch: One
is that I want to do more ink-only sketches this month, since I’ve given myself
that challenge (the “ink” part of InkNaNoDrawMo).
And the second is that I want to enter GouletPens.com’s Thanksgiveaway contest this month.
The prize is an Omas Ogiva Alba fountain pen (valued at $495), and all you have to do to enter is send something
handwritten with pen and ink to GouletPens telling them something you are
grateful for. It’s not an art competition – the winner will be chosen randomly –
so we all have an equal shot!

| My September-October sketchbook. |
A rainy day is also good for bookbinding, so I used the
opportunity to bind my September – October sketchbook. On the covers are the Space Needle sketched with a twig at
the Olympic Sculpture Park and the crazy monster tree I sketched in Tacoma. I chose these sketches for the cover because
they represent two types of media I’ve been experimenting with a lot lately in
various ways: twig and India ink, à la KK, and water-soluble colored pencils.
I like your ink sketch of the ink bottle and Lamy pen. I'll have to go over and check the Goulet Pen website.
