Inktober 2019- “Takhi”, I saw this takhi/Przewalski’s horse stallion at the Khomyn Tal takhi reintroduction project in 2015. His name is Chronos and he was one of the original 22 horses transported to western Mongolia in 2004. He still had quite a large harem with a number of young foals. Truly a survivor.⁣ ⁣Gillott 170 nib, used by Marcus Hamilton for drawing his “Dennis the Menace” cartoon: in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook.⁣ ⁣#penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #horses #horseart #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #wildhorses #takhi #stillmanandbirn #gillott #gillott170 ⁣ ⁣

Inktober 2019- “Black-crowned Night Heron”, Gillott 659 crowquill in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook. We have a largish pond in our backyard and a few years ago this night heron flew in and stayed long enough for me to get some good photos. Even if we can’t see one they have a distinctive “Scronck” sound that lets us know one is around.⁣ ⁣The Gillott 659 crowquill was the favorite of pen and ink master Joseph Pennell.⁣ ⁣#penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #birds #birdart #blackcrownednightheron #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #gillott #gillott659 #crowquill #stillmanandbirn #zetasketchbook

Inktober 2019- “Chestnut-backed Chickadee”; We have a group of these guys around most of the year. They love, love, love the black sunflower seeds and can empty one of those cylindrical wire feeders in about two days.⁣ ⁣Gillott 291 dip pen nib and Noodler’s Black ink in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook.⁣ ⁣#inktober2019 #inktober #penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #chickadee #bird #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #dippenandink #stillmanandbirn #zetasketchbook #dippen #dippendrawing #gillott #gillott291 #noodlersink ⁣ ⁣

Inktober 2019: “Wasp”- This wasp was also on the goldenrod along with the honeybees. Have not been able to ID it, so “Wasp” it will be. This time I used a Perry & Co. 120EF dip pen nib and Noodler’s Black ink in the Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook. ⁣ ⁣#inktober2019 #inktober #penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #wasp #insects #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #dippenandink⁣ ⁣#stillmanandbirn #zetasketchbook #dippen #dippendrawing #noodlersink

Inktober 2019: “Honey Bee 2”- Last month I took a ton of photos of honey bees, wasps, and a species of fly dressed up to fake looking like a honey bee, that were all buzzing around a clump of goldenrod. I thought it would be fun this week to do a set of sketches of them. Face-on “portrait” of a honey bee.⁣ ⁣Kakuno fountain pen, Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook⁣ ⁣⁣#inktober #inktober2019 #penandink #blackandwhite #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram #bee #honeybee #sketch #sketching #pilotfountainpen #wildlifeartists #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #stillmanandbirn⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣

Inspirations

“Tell ’em not to throw in the sponge because they are disappointed with their first efforts….Honesty is everything. Don’t worry about how a professional artist would draw your subject. Let’s see how you see it. That is the real interest. Make sketching a habit.”
Percy Bradshaw
