Here is my latest art project.
That is a pen and ink drawing that is 18 inches by 24 inches in size. That’s pretty huge for a pen and ink drawing. If you look really closely (squint) you can see that most of the paper is covered with the pencil drawing. Very ambitious. I have just started to put down the ink.
The dark circle at the top of the sheet is a dime. The pen I am using is next to the dime. See the nib on that pen? Of course not. It’s too small. Here’s a closeup.
Pretty tiny hunh? I will cover that entire 18 by 24 inch sheet using that nib.
Well, maybe it won’t be that very same nib. Early on, I dropped another one on the floor. It now looks like this:
Here’s another view.
Yikes. Pretty delicate. I didn’t even step on it.
That picture also describes my nerves after I have done a few hours on the drawing.
Stay tuned (but don’t hold your breath – this will take a while)
