Title: Drawtober 11th
Content Notes: Had to do this one super fast, not much time before bedtime, so it's super slack. The prompt was pinecone, but I was not able to get out there and find a fine subject. Instead I'm subjecting you all to puns. The pens were a Pelikan Twist with Aventurine, and a Rotring Art Pen with Rotring black.

Yesterday I attended my good friend Lorraine's 52nd birthday. She had 52 bottles of custom-blended ink by Vinta Inks to give to her guests! Lorraine is a calligrapher. For her wedding 4 years ago she also had a bespoke wedding ink custom-blended by Vinta Inks. This ink sort of reminds me of Robert Oster Fire and Ice, but a bit bluer.
Day 10 of #Inktober
Iroshizuku shin-kai
This is a great ink: a well-behaved dark blue with just a hint of sheen

Same ink and pen as yesterday, and a super quick drawing between games as I was gardening in the morning and then at boardgame club for the afternoon and evening. The prompt is 'acorn' and while there are a couple of oak trees closeish I'm still going with a more local tree. These seed pods are from an Allocasuarina commonly called Sheoak in Australia, and I was taught to call it Kwel by my Nyoongar teachers.
I took about 5 minutes to draw these little seed pods. They have a spiky texture, and black cockatoos are fond of them.

Waterman Audacious Red
A bright, well-behaved ink, though not quite as intense as I would like. (Not as audacious? ๐ถ)
I love this nib though. The Retro1951 nibs are decent in their own right, but the Franklin-Christoph nibs are amazing.

This was from a post on the Japanese concept of *ma*, and the idea of leaving space in our lives. I love the overlap between that and the writings on ignorance by Wendell Berry and Wes Jackson.
Pen: Pilot Custom 74 EF nib
Ink: Iroshizuku shin-kai
Paper: Rhodia 80gsm
This pen still isn't what I want it to be. It always feels almost like I have to pull the ink from the nib.

Drawtober 9th
Pen and ink, drawn with the same as yesterday.
Squash is the prompt for today, and as squash isn't a huge thing in Australia, and we're warming up here in Kambarang in the South West of the corner of Australia where I live, I'm thinking about lemon squash.
And so is this Pipistrelle Dragonet. Whilst they can be very handy to gleefully snap up any wasps and flies that might show too much interest in your drink, tour operators warn that they will expect a tithe of ice licks for the service. People who accept the insect removal service and refuse the licks will find themselves slightly singed. It's best to work out the agreement carefully beforehand.

Day 8 of #Inktober
Iroshizuku shin-ryoku
It's a gentle green, with just a hint of teal in it. It's new to me, but it seems as well behaved as all the rest of the Iroshizuku inks I've tried.
