Unfortunately, after I finished my first stippled neuron, I got comments that told me I didn’t hit the target. I mean for only $8, this dip pen looks fun! All I would need is better paper (and ink). That, stippling could be used for adding texture as well as value (dark or light). I knew this already as “stippling” technique, but it was a light bulb moment. Then, I realized that if you cluster the dots together, they would act as shading. In this case, it was a castle-looking structure. In this case, my goal was simply to draw a building.
One thing I remember from art class when I was taught to draw: “don’t stop a project until you’ve learned something.” After all, any structure you see is mainly different smaller parts put together. Adding them together, seeing how they could create complex structure. But, you’re certain that you’ll discover something if you keep going! Yes, keep going! The best part about doodling and drawing is sometimes you don’t care what you’re doing. But, they are super awesome for gel pens. Of course, I’m using my classic Moleskine notebooks, which are notoriously bad for wet-writing instruments. The fountain pen ink bleeds through my notebook paper. Well, I did discover that the fountain pen had a major limitation. I suppose doodling is a metaphor for life: keep making marks. Instead, I was trying to find out how much I wanted to draw and…simply mark up paper in unconventional ways. Not that I expect I have the endurance (or skill) to make great artistic works. The unwritten point of doodling is to discover, to add thrill to a blank page or period of time. This makes it great for free-associating ideas and … doodling.ĭoodling is the warm-up for the great marathon. The stainless steel nib glides across paper. But, I have grown to enjoy this pen as a doodler. I have used it mostly for writing notes at work. My pen is a demonstrator, which means you can see its innards.
