Lately I've had a desire to take a break from constructed sketches and try something different. Originally I started drawing people, and I'm still fascinated with the proportions and forms of the human body. I feel like I'll end up posting quite a few people sketches, whether constructed or gestural, graphite or ink. I suppose the only differences between the "architectural" drawing I've developed in the past two years and the drawing I used to do are the strokes I make with the pen and construction lines. Maybe I'm just tired of drawing buildings and cups.
I've had the same fountain pen now for about a year and a half, and although it's not amazing, I've become quite fond of it. It's a Lamy Logo, brushed steel body with an extra-fine nib. Recently I've been mixing my own ink for the pen. For one, I can make almost any color and it's waterproof. I noticed ink "spills" can produce very interesting forms, depending on how you interpret or see them.
