@@PracticeDrawingThis After doing it here and there since then, it made me realize that I can't draw silhouettes that great haha. Not too complex but they don't come out right if the image of what one thinks the silhouette should be vs how it is drawn do not line up, so it becomes a thinking exercise in a way. Luckily for me drawing cylinders is way easier so no problem on those. I personally like drawing basic shapes anyway so i'll continue to do the exercises here and there
@@RedSchiz No worries, you will get better as you practice! Drawing silhouettes first and then filling in the inside is a great exercise, too. It forces you to look at what you actually see, the abstract shapes, and to copy those accurately by sight. Don’t worry, you’re doing great! You always see the mistakes in your work. Your ability to see is always ahead of your skill, which is good in a way because it allows you to improve. Write dates with your work so you can look back in a few years and see the improvements you made. That can be really motivating.
A fellow fountain pen lover!!! It's a Scribo La Dotta with EEF nib. It's a delicious nib, and as fine as Japanese fine nibs even though it is an European pen. My favorite inks right now are Iroshizuku. The green one you are seeing is the Shin-Ryoku, but I also have pens inked up with Kon-Peki and Yama-Budo, so I switch between these between videos. The combination gives me a thin line and yet a wet nib, and the colors are just so beautiful, dark and saturated. It's delicious to draw with! At least for me. Which fountain pens and inks are your favorites? Do you draw or sketch with a fountain pen?
I love japanese fountain pens as well as their inks, kon peki and yama budo ink I use, too! I could see that the nib of your pen is an absolute excellent one, perhaps I will a similar one, thanks for your info@@PracticeDrawingThis
Thanks for another video, I will try it out.
Thank you! Also, it would help me a great deal if you let me know how the drawing exercise worked for you!
