Urban sketching with a fountain pen! 🎨 Trying a Sailor Fude De Mannen

Рет қаралды 4,859

Күн бұрын

Hi all! Today I'm doing some urban sketching using ink and watercolour! I test out a Sailor Fude De Mannen fountain pen which has such an interesting nib, and draw some views focused on linework. I love the result and hope you enjoy watching me draw in real time! If you've ever used this pen before, do let me know in the comments! Katie x

Always sooo satisfying to watch your fluid process, Katie! I admire so much how you're able to draw so intuitively! And the urban artwork turned out soo beautifully! ❤❤❤ P.s. gotta add the pen to my ever expanding wish list now! 😅

I enjoy using this one with brown ink, don’t know why I find the black too harsh. You’re doing a beautiful job despite being your first time with it! You’re so accomplished!

Ooh yes brown ink would work wonderfully, I bet it would give a bit of a vintage feel! Thank you so much for your lovely words 🥰

I picked up a Fude FP after seeing a review by Taria Dawson on her urban sketching channel. I bought it for urban sketching using Platinum Carbon Ink but haven't had a chance to practice very much yet. I absolutely love your spread, the variation in your line work is awesome and the addition of the watercolour is just perfect......a novice you definitely are not💚

@KatieMoody Ай бұрын

I've heard so many good things about that ink! I'll be sure to look up Taria Dawson too, I love seeing urban sketches! Thank you for your lovely comment and support 🥰

I love this style, and it was great to see your take on it. Beautiful spread, and I love what you said about a little wonky-ness lending character to a piece. I 100% agree. I’ve recently been experimenting with Pilot parallel pens, which allow for different line widths from one pen. It’s quite a learning curve on top of my usual struggle to loosen up with my artwork in general. I’ve found that the waterproof ink I put in one of them doesn’t flow as well as the water soluble ink it comes with. But I think that may help me get more of an uneven sketchy style, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise! 😆 Great video!

@KatieMoody Ай бұрын

Thanks so much, Rachel! So nice to hear about your fountain pen experiences too. I've not heard of the Pilot parallel, it sounds interesting! I've read that some waterproof inks might clog so that could be what's happening with the flow, and something I'm going to keep my eye on with this one! But as you say, we can use it to our advantage sometimes 😄

I’m loving my Fude pen and different papers do have some bearing on how it performs. Having a variety of weight lines adds charm along with the wonkiness

@So_salty Ай бұрын

What paper do you like

@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 Ай бұрын

@@So_saltyit depends what I’m doing but I definitely don’t recommend using Fude 55 with a Khadi paper as the pen hooks up with the paper like Velcro. Love your name…….😊 me too!

Oh that's good to hear, thank you so much! I definitely noticed a difference between sketchbooks! The lineweight variation is my favourite thing about it 😄

Of all the fountain pens to sketch with you chose the hardest one! The Fude isn't just a fp. Try a Lamy. I'm sure you'll like it better. The Fude can be used on the side of the nib, for finer but not the finest line as you get from turning it upside down.

@KatieMoody Ай бұрын

I have a couple of standard pens but I loved the unpredictability of this one and the variation in line! 😄

@miiaproductions Ай бұрын

Love the spread, different from your usual style but still really cool 😊🩷 I haven’t tried a fountain pen before, so many people I watch use one and it looks really intriguing. Would love to try one someday. It’s really interesting hearing your thought process while trying a new medium or technique, love the way you play and just test things out 😄

@KatieMoody Ай бұрын

Thank you! 🥰 I always love playing with new supplies because my mediums tend to influence my style quite a lot. Thank you for watching 🥹
