#art#traditional art#watercolour#oc art#ocs#oc group: wg#oc: su#first pic was drawn with a different old fountain pen i used to use before i got turned onto pilots#an REALLY old fpr flex nib. it worked alright but that really confirmed the ink was the issue not the pen because#i very much remember how wet this pen could be LOL#second drawing was with india ink which you can see how much darker and richer the lines are <3 my ancient sketchink in my fountain pens#has been. faded slightly with age and dilution with tiny bits of dishsoap etc#the things i do to fountain pen ink. dont worry i use vials to experiment a bit at a time. im doing mad scientist shit to this stuff#anyway yeah the second one i also used a nearly 15 year old dip pen nib WHICH if you dont know you should um#you should replace ur dip pen nibs. they're made to rust and flex out of shape over time. some people say between a few months to a year#depending on the stiffness of the nib and how much usage it gets. honestly i make them last a long time because im that kind of person#BUT i will say. after like 3-4 years of drawing that things done. that things done.#but i wanted to use a really wet really flexible nib and the only super flexy one i had was a super ancient hunt 101 with misaligned tines#used it anyway! it wants me dead but STILL technically functional. technically!#last drawing was drawn with a much newer non-flexible dip nib....#my linework details... my linework secrets... i love telling people all about what i did in a drawing. i leave nothing to mystery#my teachers get really pissed off about it but i looooooove it. you will know what i did in my drawring. you will know.
