Beautiful work and thank you for sharing so much great information. I really appreciate this video.

Egg hatching?

He conseguido enviarte el enlace de mi prueba.. Estaría bien tu opinión, aprenderé, como en cada video que haces . Tengo problemas oculares, pero espero poner en práctica cosas tuyas . Gracias por enseñar tanto!!!!!

Es genial ! Tengo un dibujo, bueno 3, creo,..No sé como acerte llegar uno con el cual quede satisfecho. También grabé el proceso.

Another terrific video! I love the texture dry brush creates. Thanks so much for posting Marc! Have you ever tried the Noodlers Ahab Pen Brush? It's the larger of the two Noodlers Pen Brushes and is apparently designed for dry brush technique. Do you think its synthetic bristles would be as good or last as long as the round watercolour brush you're using in the video? Which brush is that btw? I'm putting together my first pen and ink kit. Thanks!

Thick and thin hatching makes shadows look so intense and make expressions somewhat eerie yet strangely beautiful.

Is that guache?

Sir can I use pilot metropolitan as an beginner artist?

These pen adjustment videos are so valuable Marc, thanks for sharing! Is there a way to get a stubborn TWSBI nib and feed out of the 580 in order to fit the fpr nib in? Thanks!

I like your review. I am a big dip and fountain pen fan, but also like all kinds of brush pens. Years and years I loved the pitt artist brush versions. Quite recently I started to use fude nibs on fountain pens and refillable brush plastic hair fountain pens to imitate chinese / japanese landscape drawings. they are my new favorites now. I like very soft and responsive brush tips and the random element they give to a drawing

Well found channel. Informative and entertaining

Hey there! Thank you for the great review. I have one question concerning fude nibs: are they suitable for left handed artists as well? Thank you!

You made the best review of pocket fountain pens I have seen to date. Subscribed !

I didn't think it was possible to make this detailed drawing with those fountain pens

Hi, thank you for your review. Do you rate this pen higher than Pilot elabo or Platinum 3776 SF?

Awesome stuff! Thank you!

"Authoritarian" pen? A better adjective might be "helpful". Or "pleasantly different from the shape of all your other pens" for people who write every day for long periods and could use a change of pace. Nothing against Pilot, but I think the Safari is a great pen. Along with my Sailor, Franklin Christoph (2), Aurora, Omas, Pelikan, and Kaweco.

This is a terrific video Marc, I've watched it more than once. Btw, do you have a go to mixed media paper for pen and ink? I'm thinking a getting a pad of that for some finished copies but there's so many on the market I don't which to start with. Thanks!

👍👌👌

I have a both pens and I agree that the Platinum is a diva. I've found that by taking the nib out, (Yes it was pretty tight but it came out with some force) and hacking the feed slightly it will create better flow. I created a very small channel directly underneath the nib like most feeds have which the platinum does not.I just used a razor blade. Just a few swipes. It works great with most inks I've tried so far. Not too wet either! It has trouble keeping up with long flexed lines but for fast hatching it doesn't skip at all. Thanks for the video Marc!

Your page is so helpful !

Very very informative... Thank you sir...

I don't think I'd heard of Kollwitz, but the Mother with her Dead Son sculpture is devastating. I'm glad to know of her, thank you.

That pose you created for the figure at the bottom of your drawing is wild! Very tough assignment to do that straight from your imagination. This was very fun to watch, thanks much.

Awesome stuff Marc. I just found your channel 2 weeks ago, and have been hooked ever since. I appreciate all the information you put out on your YT channel. I've been on a 5 year hiatus from drawing and painting, which I thought would never happen, but your videos and the work you do have pushed me to pick things back up. I've never used a fountain pen before, only brush pens, but just ordered a Duke 600 w/ a Fude nib and some Lexington Gray ink, and I can't wait to start experimenting. Not sure if that's a good combo for a first timer, but it sure seems fun nonetheless. Quick question, will your "Sketching People in Pen & Watercolor" online workshop ever be available as a streaming class in the future?

Just found your channel today. Just started back into Pen & ink & watercolour after 40 years and found your techniques and tips very helpful. I started taking a seniors class 2 weeks ago and the question was brought up whether to ink and then watercolour or visa versa. You have answered that question for me and I will pass it on to the classmate beside me. I have subscribed and liked your Channel today! 👏🏻👏🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

For more capacity, just refill the cartridges with a syringe, I agree that mini converter is small.

0:33 I'd say the main reason I want line width variation via nib flex is: it's the way the most elegant cursive ever seen on the planet was created, in the eras of the quill, and subsequently the steel dip pen, introduced ca 1850 by Joseph Gillot. Good cursive disappeared due to the explosion of the fountain pen from ca 1890--modern manufacturers have let us down tremendously. Appreciated the great info in your welcome review :-)

This is fascinating, just a pity that you spoke so fast.

As always, this is valuable information. Thank you! Have you ever copied Rembrandt? I suppose the etchings more than his drawings because that’s where his cross hatching really shines. I’m going to try one. Can you recommend a really good paper to do it on? Like printmaking paper perhaps? Or something equivalent to the St Armand paper you mentioned in one of the videos?

that works with my new gold nib.. and the writing by using the back side was ink flow earier than the front which makes me thought about the feeder contacting the nib..

I've gotten FPR Ultra Flex nibs (#6 steel duo tone) to work in an Asvine pen from Amazon. Unfortunately the Asvine pens come with plastic feeds that I need to modify by cutting a deeper channel for increased ink flow. Asvine sells replacement nib+feed units on Amazon so I purchased a couple of spare. I've ordered Ebonite feeds from FPR and waiting for them to come, to see if I can mod an Ebonite feed to fit into the Asvine. I am using the Asvine V200. I also have a Magna Carta Mag 600, I want to keep the original plastic/Ebonite body of the Magna Carta in pristine condition so I took out the nib and put it in another Asvine V200, also with a modified plastic feed. I had flow problems with the Magna Carta Mag 600 nib in the original body even after heat setting the Ebonite feed, and wasn't happy with the ink capacity of the included converter, so now the original parts aside from the nib are in their box. Cheap but very nice looking pen bodies with flexible nibs.

Thou we all love pen and ink washes, it is always good see you applying other media. Great technique, thank you sir.

Beautiful incipit music 🙏🏻

Hello! I didnt know you could fit a fude nib to a TWSBI 580!! May i know how you did that? Did you disassemble your TWSBI 580 and bought a separate fude nib only? Im super new to fountain inks but didnt think at all this was possible!

Marvelous. I used a chamois in a drawing class but didn't learn the proper way of using it -- I didn't know it was supposed to become coated in charcoal and stay that way. Also didn't know about the cornstarch layer. Definitely giving this a try. Thank you.

Hi Mark. As always, it is interesting and informative. Thank you very much for your help. Greetings from Kharkiv.

nice talk trick. in order for me to save the tooth of the paper instead of talk i use a soft brush and charcoal powder for an even spread.

I learned this from an artist demo using paint.

The only thing I see is skill, and the only thing I can think of is disappointment - I shouldn't have quit so early.

Great tips thanks! Never would have known about cornstarch as a paper pretreatment.

Really appreciate you sharing your amazing knowledge, talent and skills! THANKS!

1. I love watching other people doing charcoal drawing. 2. That's a beautiful, classic technique. 3. Charcoal is also fabulous for more expressionistic, line-based techniques, as it makes such bold, dramatic lines. 4. What is vine charcoal good for? Besides not being actually black and breaking constantly?

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing - can’t wait to try 🥰

Have you ever used De Atramentis Document Ink Black or brown or white on thinner smoother paper? What is the line quality (feathering, ink drying time for marks (eg does it take long to dry and will it blend together if cross hatched quickly?)) when being used with watercolor paper rough, smooth or smoother paper such as Rhodia G especially with a pointed nib such as a Nikko G or a Gillot 404.

As I have reflected in this very thoughtful video, I see the need for a disciplined process in all of my creative endeavors. Thank you, I am very grateful for your wisdom. The process you laid out not only ensures that works are finished, they require more energy at each stage, knowing you won't go back.

❤❤❤❤

Marc, do you have a video on pens with flex over 5 on your scale that are budget friendly? 50$ or under

I swopped the B nib in my ECO for a #5 Jinhoa fude nib but the ink flow kept stalling. Then I read this, made the overfeed and sandwiched it in. Presto! The fude nib now works perfectly in my ECO! Thank you Marc!
