Starting an Ink Journal and Sketching in Fountain Pens | Contains Inkvent 2021 Spoilers (Days 1-6)
Рет қаралды 2,514
2 жыл бұрынThis was meant to be a simple video to film and record so that I could focus on making Christmas gifts; instead, this was a super stressful video and I do apologize for the quality. My camera cannot focus well enough to see handwriting and my phone's recording has a learning curve (i.e., I thought I did the same thing every time but got a different result for each clip). So while I'm focusing on Christmas gifts, I figured I would explore sketching in fountain pens while recording my various inks for future reference.

The individual pages looked so good, but seeing them all together is spectacular! I can't put my finger on exactly why your ink drawings look so special and good but it's not just the ink, it's because of the lovely way you do portraits. I'm so impressed!!

Thank you! I do love how Mountain of Ink (mountainofink.com) writes with the same ink different nib sizes and adds the dry time test and water resistance test too.

Thank you! Since it's so large a book, I think maybe a flip through at the halfway point would make sense. Now I only need... 134 inks 😂 Maybe when I run out of new inks and am still on no buy.

I'm always impressed when people do this kind of journaling with art supplies - it's so disciplined and foreign to me LOL I'm also impressed you've done a no buy year - wow. I really need to do that myself. Even a no buy month would be a start!
@briwidmerart 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Hopefully I can stick with it - I am concerned with my discipline in this particular topic 😅 A no buy month would be great! Especially as a holiday recovery period. It's so easy to spend a lot in the weeks leading up to Christmas with all those sales (and gift purchases). Good luck if you give it a try!

This is so cool, and given some of these ink despersions and their sheens, the alizerin crimson a-like ink looks so fun for a monochrome ink piece! Really excited for you to fill this out with your advent calander! :D

Ooh it would!! Definitely need to play with ink paintings in the future.. excellent idea. Thank you! I'm so excited to see what else is in the calendar 😁

I'd love to see a flip-through later on! These particular pages are very aesthetically pleasing, too. If I had known about this calendar, I may have bought it, though I don't really use fountain pens (prefer the simplicity of dip pens). Art supply Advent calendars should be more of a thing, and this one looks really fun.
@briwidmerart 2 жыл бұрын
Okay, will do 😊 Thanks so much! And yes, this is really fun (although it requires a lot of extra fountain pen cleaning). Dip pens would be simpler here. I'm so clumsy with mine, though 😂

oooh love the idea of an ink journal! Your portraits are so beautiful, and I'm kinda glad I didn't know about the inkvent calendar (you and a calligrapher I follow both are doing it this year!) - did not need another purchase in my life. :D Curious what fountain pens you mainly use? Any favorites? So many I've seen in shops around here don't have refillable cartridges.
@briwidmerart 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I just got my first gold nib fountain pens (hence the no buy timeout) so that's a dangerous question 😅 Since I haven't used those much, I'll say TWSBI pens. I have an Eco, a couple of Diamonds, and two VACs and they're all just really consistent, lovely to write with, and easy to clean and refill. Plus they hold a ton of ink.

What is the point? I've been keeping diaries for over 20 years and recording my life is what matters to me and may one day matter to someone else, but what's your intention....just show off with fancy fountain pens and different coloured ink? What you're doing won't make any difference to the world.
@briwidmerart 3 ай бұрын
I am truly sorry if you sincerely believe that the only things one should do are things you anticipate making a difference in the world. Some things are just done for simple enjoyment and sharing those things helps to form connections with others. I appreciate my friends in the fountain pen and art communities. I also love reviewing my ink journal to find the perfect inks for my next refill and I have had friends flip through it and pick inks from my collection that they would like to sample. Simple pleasures and creative outlets are worth pursuing.
