Trying out Substack live, drawing a lion’s mane in pen and ink - and attempting, as much as possible, to speak in complete sentences. Which isn’t always an easy thing to do while drawing! Thank you so much to those who helped me come kick the tires and find out a livestream is vertical only….
At the end I flipped through the sketchbook that might become a coloring book to fundraise for my more serious drawing book - let me know if there’s something in there you’d like to see more of for a coloring book? I’d like to complete the sketchbook with drawings that’d be included!
Supplies may be affiliate links - supporting my work with a percentage paid to me at no cost to you: The dip pen used here is J Herbin Belle Epoque with Nikko G nib. My buddy Crabbie is a pen holder who keeps it from rolling off the table or laying on the paper and potentially getting ink on it. For some reason I felt like using Montblanc Mystery Black ink which isn’t waterproof but this won’t be watercolored so it’s dandy for this project. Get some Bombay Pen Cleaner to keep a dip pen clean.
