This was my first rough which I was going to redraw...but I liked something about this one so I left it as it was! (As usual drawn directly onto paper with ink with no pre drawing, erasing or photoshop work...I leave the world to look at my mistakes!!)

IF Sink
Size: 11 x 16 cms
Media: Pen and Ink
Pens: Sailor Sapporo & Copic Marker
It is generally thought that a ship's Captain should go down if his ship should sink. This is a myth apparently. If a ship sinks it is the Captain's duty to ensure the safety of all others on board before his own. So if there isn't time to get off he would therefore be the last (or one of them) and go down with his ship....it's not a voluntary pride duty thing after all!

Some of the various character studies I made this week about mid life crisis and life away from work. I have tried to steer clear of the constraints of copying from life and therefore giving myself the freedom to draw directly from my mind..I enjoyed this and will probably do more.

Experiments with line
Media: Indian Ink & Paper
Pen : Dip Pen (Vintage Nib)
Size: 12 x 32 cms
Media : Noodler's Ink and Paper
Pen: Sailor Calligraphy Fountain Pen
My new fountain pens arrived yesterday and I was eager to try them out. I sat on the roadside to sketch in the next valley by a small village called Benisiva. I took my Sailor calligraphy pen with me and used it nib upside down to give me a fine line as I wasn't practised with its variation (this pen is designed to give different line widths whilst writing in Chinese). The result was a lot different from the flexible nib used in the dip pen drawing (top). I will post some work done using the Sailor's full potential soon. The following drawing of an old man (below) was done using home-made bamboo and reed pens for the lines and Copic sketch markers for the shades of grey. I cut the bamboo and reeds locally and carved the nibs into different shapes to give me varied tonal effects.
