Pen swap TWSBI Eco-T – Parker Duofold
We are at the end of the month, so just time enough for a quick pen swap. This time I will replace my TWSBI Eco-T Royal Jade. This pen has been inked several times since 8/10/2023 with Montblanc Mystery black. Since the ink reservoir is quite large, it therefore takes…

Drawing challenge, where am I?
My drawing challenge of drawing 1000 faces or portraits is still going on, so it’s about time to give you an update. I’m not doing this challenge just to reach my goal of 1000 drawings, but it’s an incentive to encourage me to draw on a daily basis. It is…

Wrap up January ’24
January 2024 was actually my real first month as a blogger. I already did some blogging on WordPress.com since last year, but for some reason I did not work out. I started this blog with the aim of sharing information and create content about fountain pens and sketching. As far…

Clowns and skulls, yep
I promised to do an update every now and then on my drawing challenge, namely drawing 1000 faces or portraits in 2024. Actually, it’s not really about the challenge, but rather the search for a motive, a push in the back to keep practicing, to discover things and learn from…

Sketchy watercolours, urban and portrait
I really haven’t forgotten that I use this blog for watercolor sketches and fountain pens in general. Today was my last day of a week’s leave. Time really flies by when you’re having fun. I also realize that blogging, drawing, keeping up with social media takes a huge amount of…
