Will do! 🦷

Two skulls: My usual "illustrative realism" drawing style vs a more woodcut print style. It is really difficult for me to simplify shapes and not add details. Drawn with Kaweco Sport fountain pens in a Strathmore 5.5x8.5" mixed-media sketchbook. #PenAndInk #Drawing #FountainPen #SciArt

Did you know that the Irish would carve faces into turnips (and other root vegetables) to ward off spirits? This tradition was the precursor to carving pumpkins at Halloween. My 2nd attempt at this drawing. #PenAndInk #FountainPen #Drawing #turnip #Halloween #skystorians

When you need something to mindlessly draw, I highly recommend teeth. No straight lines, beautiful organic shapes - just perfect for sketching. Practicing an old engraving style with a Kaweco Sport #fountainpen (1.1 mm nib) with Platinum Carbon Black ink

It is a sickness! 😝

NothingHappenedToday (Ed Harrington) @edharrington.bsky.social · Oct 13

Will try it! 🦷

NothingHappenedToday (Ed Harrington) @edharrington.bsky.social · Oct 12

Thanks! I need to do a "cleaner" version. I really struggle with trying to "stylize" my drawings - I naturally want to render everything realistically 💀✒️

Playing around with drawing in an old wood-cut style. It is really difficult for me to simplify my illustrations - I really have to fight the urge to add tiny details! Drawn with a Kaweco Sport fountain pen w/ a 1.1 mm nib. #PenAndInk #Sketch #FountainPen

Woodcut style ink drawing of a skull with a brass fountain pen.

Zen activity

NothingHappenedToday (Ed Harrington) @edharrington.bsky.social · Oct 11

Thanks! Still working on it ✒️

Inking is always relaxing for me. I tend to pencil rather loosely, so this is the stage where the drawing "comes alive" Using Rotring Art fountain pens on Bristol. I use a lightbox to trace over my sketch - that way I don't have to worry about erasing. #PenAndInk #Drawing #FountainPen #SciArt

Sea Pigs sketches. Scotoplanes are a type of sea cucumber that use a ring of feeding tentacles to sift through sediment for decaying organic matter on the sea floor and have tube-like feet for locomotion. Drawn with Rotring Art pens with Platinum Carbon and Sepia ink. #SciArt #Sketch #FountainPen
