A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
A few of my best loved kitchen tools. I’d like these sketches better if I’d used a pencil first, but I used my new Platinum Carbon Desk Fountain Pen (extra fine) and was determined to just quick-sketch them in. This was a fun page to do! I love this ink. And at under $10, the pen is worth a try. It uses Platinum Carbon ink cartridges, but the ink is available in a bottle as well. It’s a nice dark black, safe for fountain pens (or so I keep reading!), and waterproof!
I tried out some Noodler’s Heart of Darkness ink in a fountain pen they include with the bottle on a sort of zentangle-y cow sketch. I ordered it because I thought it was waterproof, or mostly waterproof, and was going to add color… but you can see what happened when I touched water to it. I’ll try letting some dry overnight and see if it still reacts the same way. I like the result, but I wanted a fountain pen I could use for my watercolor sketches. Oh well, back to Staedtler and uniball. They are great, so it’s all good. I just wanted to play around with line width a bit.
