[quote="jazz"]I have used the quill pens that you have to dip into ink. i was having alot of fun with that, and then i dropped my best one on the floor, and it landed on the tip, and broke
. Grrr! anyway, i have yet to replenish my supplies. i really do preffer working with pencil, and everything i do is really sketchy. i like it that way, but . . . . clean lines are the way to go i guess, ha! but yeah, i guess i'm still trying to develop my own style. as far as preparation goes, um. . . .well it really just depends on my mood. i guess if i want to have a clean pic when i'm done, i'll sketch it out first in pencil. . . . ha, but yeah, i really need to finish most of my stuff. anyway, i'll be going now. bye! ]
Whoa - that's awesome. I haven't used those before. I managed to use straw with some india ink for a grand total of about 8 minutes... but that's it for me! I think my Mum might have some india ink and perhaps a paintbrush that I could experiment with - I'll have to ask her.
Eek - you managed to break a quill pen?
Breaking art supplies is gut-wrenching at times. Losing them, too. Though it's by far not as sad, I managed to lose my mechanical pencil (which I draw the most with) and haven't replaced it yet.
I agree - I kind of like the pencil sketchy look. Especially when I'm doing cartoons (like my avatar) and do the basic shapes really light then the outline thick but you can still see the sketch underneath... it looks cool somehow. I'm like you - I've got unfinished pictures lying all around the place. I suppose it's either a sign of creativity or procrastination... maybe both.

All the best for your continued drawing and inking
. I hop you manage to replace that quill brush and that you keep enjoying art - that's the main thing, isn't it?
God bless.
