100-3010 – Artists tools

After all that urban sketching in Vigan here is one of something more mundane. These are materials I use for most sketches – I do like to challenge myself sometimes by trying something new, but for the last few years I have always gone back to using my reliable Sailor fude fountain pen. I fill it with #Noodlers Lexington Grey ink and carry it around in a little glass bottle that used to have tiger balm in it. My go to pen for beefing up the darks and adding a few black lines is, a #UniBall Eye Micro.

99-2992 – New stool

Having seen the folding stool of a friend and fellow sketcher I couldn’t resist getting a new one. My old one (see sketch No. 770) has served me well but it’s rather heavy and this one packs up even smaller (although I do get a bit tangled up with it, when unfolding it). It’s made by #Naturehike and was quite affordable.
