Today’s daily page, pre-journaling. I’ll be using my The Raven IV fountain pen by @retro51.bsky.social, with a medium nib, and inked with Dominant Industry’s Quoth the Raven. The Tornado is a consistent favorite in my pen collection - I own several.

Lately I’ve been happier with my #studio being on my couch in the main room instead of isolated in my art room. Love my @retro51.bsky.social Albert pencil (used to do math with it, now it’s perfect for #sketching) and my cheap calligraphy brush! #WIP for tomorrow’s prompt! #ArtYear #art #watercolor

The @retro51.bsky.social Edgar Allan Poe Raven 😱
Can’t sleep, but I have a new sketchbook, fountain pens I haven’t really used, and new ink. So I decided it was time to see if I can still draw at all.
