Of course I had to pick up a new set of nibs after reading. Does anyone know where I can find some of these steel brush nibs? I love these gorgeous bold line fonts! #calligraphy #dippens

A paper booklet, titled “Speedball textbook for pen & brush lettering 18th edition”. Originated by Ross F. George. The cover features a blue background with flat colored circles of black white and yellow. Inside the white circle is a collection of Speedball dip pen nibs

A page from the book. Showcasing different pen nibs and a description of their use cases

Letterers and calligraphists! Dip pen enthusiasts! I found an absolutely stunning resource at the bookshop: A Speedball textbooklet, published in 1960! This is unlocking so much knowledge of pen nibs for me. And what an amazing collection of font styles! #lettering #calligraphy #dippens #speedball

Man with black hair with a short chin beard stands presenting his art hanging on the wall. The art shows 19 vultures circling upwards towards the sun, puffy clouds above them.

Me with my favorite piece "Ascension", 19x24" dip pens on Bristol board.

Read in a calligraphy book that fountain pen ink is not recommended for dip pens as it is too thin, hence got myself this "Marshmallow Creamy" by Sailor.

Playing with Gansai Tambi Aurora Violet granulating watercolors as a background and letting the shapes inform the ink drawing of 2 pig-like creatures facing in opposite directions, one on top of the other, with some random mushrooms thrown in.

I am determined to get this #watercolor #sketchbook filled before our art show in March. Still using #dippens. #Artsky #inksky

Another one. G nib dip pen and digital color. #surf #dippens #frog #ink

Here’s some of my still art! This is a mix of hand drawn/inked stuff along with digital #art #artist #inking #dippens #digitalart

I'm also surprised how quickly I adjusted to using #dippens again. if this little #prototype goes well and my motztivation to make a full fledged game sticks around I will give you more #ink art beyond this #inktober #gamedev #traditionalart

My scanner/printer for once gets a lot of work this #inktober and getting my #dippens out to do #gamedev wasn't quite on my bingo card :3 doesn't mean I won't do it.
