With my month-long focus on markers and brush pens during InkTober, I’ve been neglecting my
beloved fountain pens, and I’ve missed them. In anticipation of today,
international Fountain Pen Day, here
are a couple of sketches I’ve done this week with my favorite Sailor Naginata fude pen (plus a few touches of dark orange leaves applied with a Pilot Parallel).

In my sketchbook, the trees of each season seem best suited
for a certain medium: spring and summer’s lushness seem to cry out for watercolors;
this fall I reveled in colored
pencils. The balding trees of winter, bleak as they may seem, take on new life
when I can observe and appreciate their complex branching structures and elegant
shapes with a fountain pen.
Great sketches! There is such an assortment of great fountain pens to experiment with.
