I did some ink drawings to try out my new Staedler pen. Over Christmas, I received this wonderful reference book of all kinds of different birds from around the world. I went through and chose the weirdest ones that I knew would be fun to draw, so these are all referenced from that wonderful book.
Tawny Frogmouth Adult
Tawny Frogmouth Chick
I can’t believe these are real animals
Hawk-Headed Parrot
Hoatzin
(top started out as the chick, but then turned into an imaginative drawing)
The Staedler pen is nice. I like it much more than the old Koh-I-Noor pen I used to have in high school. I think my bad experience with that pen (writes a nice line – for five minutes, then you have to clean it again) is part of what made me not like doing micron drawings. They are fun, but since buying the Staedler I’ve been using my quill pen more (see post below).
