I love brown ink drawings. It is a classic way to draw, concentrating of light and value relationships. The brown ink blends nicely and transitions well, without abrupt edges.
I recently drew this little study of my granddaughter, Jillian, using walnut ink with white gouache. Now, I try to keep my drawing "kit" handy, so when the opportunity to draw presents itself, I am ready.
In the top photo, you can see my fountain pens and my watercolor brushes. The brushes are both sables. The one taped together is an old Windsor & Newton, and the other is a Charles Reid, which comes to a very sharp point like a rigger. In addition to the fountain pens, I have 2 dip pens.
