#ospreyscholar

When I feel creative block I shut off technology, grab my Osprey Scholar and Sharp Kerry and just draw. There's something accessible about this pen and pencil combo that feels like freedom to me. #art #drawing #sketch #ospreypens #fountainpen #ospreyscholar #oopsyoucanstillseemypencil

Please comment on your prefs for the line drawings solo or the water nuked ones. I think I’m leaning to the line drawings but maybe cuz the water was wayyyy too liberal. Funny how nuked and heavy-handed were the first descriptions that came to mind. I’m finding it harder to post these days—yet another “this is soooo first-draft” stretch and what bothers me more, something kind of new from the world as it seems to me —“what’s the point.” Even writing seems pointless. ashes to ashes etc. But mercifully I’m still doodling. And since this IS the New Normal—I’m gonna push myself to post a few from yesterday. Maybe get some get up n go back. Thank dog I’ve got two small white dogs who just need my love, now, please. #penandink #zebrag #ospreyscholar #iroshiku #linedrawing #jowls #dogyears #oaf https://www.instagram.com/p/CXct3vNLPCd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Abhi at @ospreypens suggested I credit Mark Bacas at @nibgrinder for the awesome flex stub grind on my Osprey Scholar. This narrow stub nib offers a lively bit of natural line variation to a sketch plus flex if I want it! #art #sketch #doodle #drawing #fountainpen #ospreypens #ospreyscholar

Lately I've been favoring the Osprey Scholar with an Osprey modified Noodlers Flex Stub as a favorite drawing pen. The nib is amazing and the pen body is large and comfortable. Here it is next to my Pilot Custom 823 FA and Sailor 1911s EF. It's giant! Check out @ospreypens - he's loading their pens with Lamy nibs, Esterbrook nibs, Falcon nibs, Zebra-G flex nibs... Modular inserts! Like a fountain-pen mad scientist! Sketches with it coming soon. Excited. #fountainpen #artsupplies #creativity #ospreypens #ospreyscholar
