photos with hopefully more useful info! i took a platinum ink converter i usually use in my platinum brand fountain pens and hacked off the gold ring on the end that plugs in, and that allowed me to wedge it onto my pocketbrush successfully and thus use custom ink instead of the usual cartridges!

the converters have twist pistons so you twist the black knob on the end to push the piston/plunger inside up and down to suck ink into the pen.

put fountain pen ink into a platinum converter and wedged it into my pentel pocketbrush and i love it

(j herbin's bleu myosotis ink specifically)

I want to be more creative and I like the look of watercolour. I just don't know were to start? I love the look of your Faerun journal. I never done drawing at all.. So I know nothing. Thank you.

In my journals I mostly use watercolours just to colour up linework. I focus mostly on the page composition to tell a story, so my process would be something like figuring out what I want to draw the most in the double page (e.g. a big portrait of Shar) fixing it on the paper as early as possible and adding things to that in order to explain what I did at that stage. Drawing is a lot of muscle memory, meaning you have to repeat and repeat until it looks good, but you could try to start with some book like The Creative License (D. Gregory) rather than on something purely on technique. My watercolours in journals are mostly a Pentel pocketbrush on top of waterproof inks (pen or marker) and I follow the colour scheme of the game, so as long as you don't go for very un-matching hues, that should be easy. Get yourself a not-too-bad paper that can take some water (e.g. my Faerun journal is a Ryman sketchbook, 90gr), a Pentel and some basic watercolors (e.g. White Nights or Mijello are not too expensive and work well. 4-5 colors will do) and start focusing on linework first. Don't know if this is helpful? BTW, in my Instagram account @crisurdiales, I usually post my step-by-step process, in case you find it useful.

I see! Thank you for your help so far! I don't think I will be doing people soon but I love the idea to make scenery and such. I found your style just very human! I see you use a pencil to start which is logical but what kind of pencil? Do you then trace the pencil lines with the pocketbrush? And then paint? Or do the lines come after the paint? I'm truly 100% new to this. So far I've water coloured some lined printouts but I'm not sure how to get the watercolour effect? As when I added more water to the paint pad I just got thicker paint? Does the book explain this? All I did use brushes and not a pentel thingy.

Whatever pencil I have at hand, I'm partial to soft ones, like 2B to 8B, but for the very loose line contour I do, any could work. The real linework I do with the marker/pen (I use M brown Pitt permanent markers or Lamy Safari with brown ink, but that's not too important). Then I wait a minute for ink to settle and I go for the color. In my journals, colour is easy, I just sprinkle my pans with some water, choose the pigment I want and go straight from the pan to the drawing with the brush. If you are using better quality watercolour paper and brushes, you might want to wet the paper first if you want the watercolour effect you are commenting. Pigmentation will depend on the watercolour quality, so don't go for the cheapest brand. Also, let watercolour do its thing, wait a little before you apply a second layer: the paper should still be somewhat wet, but not too much or the pigment will open out of control (this, for real watercolour technique, in my journals I use them like markers).

I drew this inspired by a crazy gift from my friend at SDCC earlier this year. The original is now hanging up above my drawing desk. Drawn with @pentelofamerica Pocket Brush. #SpiderMan #SDCC #SDCC2018 #ComicCon #PocketBrush
