IF: Idle


Well I've certainly been idle with my illustration blog of late, so really had to play along with this weeks theme!
Hope you like my idle pair.

Your creation for this week's topic is really great.

It's lovely, so gentle! I love the dragon's socks, how they seem too big, and the puffs of smoke coming out of his nose.

Hi, Bee
I posted the answer to your question on my blog, but then realized you might not see it, so I'm writing it here again:

Yes, I do use a dip pen and ink when I draw. With a dip pen you can vary the thickness of the line by applying pressure, and I love that look. I like the liners as well, but mostly I've been using dip pens. I'm still learning, trying to get more natural at it. I've been using a German brand called Brause 066 and I like it a lot. Very recently I got another kind, Gillot 404, which seems to work nicely as well.

Which one did you get? :-)

love the socks on the dragon! very cute!

AtelierBrigitte said...

The dip pen Mônica uses, works for me too (she advised me that one)!

And I have a blog award for you. Come and visit my blog to see.
