Day three and I'm already cheating...

Leave it to me to misunderstand the purpose behind#inktober. You have to show you're not doing it digitally! So, shots from my sketchbook from now on.

Here's some pen drawings I made during my Ibiza trip in September.

Cheating a bit maybe as I didn't draw these in October, but it is still in the spirit of #inktober. I think.

The sketchbook is a Bookbinders Design notebook I found in Paris. If you can get your hands on one they are very much worth it! The paper is smooth bright white. And it is thin so you do tend to see the drawing on the other side. This is not a problem for me in practice as I draw with pen and then I use Photoshop to filter out the drawing that shines through. It isn't finished art that is supposed to be hung on a wall either, they are just sketches.

The book opens flat. I immediately fell in love with them, need to order more.

I took a Pilot G-TEC-C4 fineliner because I wanted to practice drawing with thin lines. The tip wore of rather quickly unfortunately. I could barely draw with it when the ink reservoir was still half full. Not a success. I should probably stick with metal points.
