Norma Krautmeyer 🏳️🌈🍵🎨✂️🖍️🐈⬛#inktober2024 today’s prompt is binoculars so I did the macrobinoculars from Star Wars. I’m trying out a kakimori nib I picked up recently and am really liking it.
#inktober2024 #inktober2024trek my friend and I went to a local park and sat by the walking path to draw it. Then we got ice cream.
#inktober2024 #inktober2024passport Bombay India ink in blue, dip pen with Kakimori nib. Today’s prompt is passport.

#inktober2024 #inktober2024sun I managed to smear this a little but I’m not redoing it.
#inktober2024 #inktober2024nomad yesterday’s prompt was nomad, so I decided to draw a car because I am trying to hate drawing cars less and “nomad” has the potential to get really racist really fast. J. Herbin ink in poussière de lune, kakimori steel nib. Really love how well this ink works with this nib.
I’d just like everyone to appreciate that I drew food on national coming out day when the prompt is #snack. J. Herbin rouge opera on mixed media paper, kakimori steel nib. This is the best brand of ink for this pen so far, which is something I didn’t expect to have an opinion about.

#inktober2024 #inktober2024journal this is a stack of some of my sketchbooks and journals currently in use. I walked through my apartment and grabbed everything I saw and then after I did this realized that I’d missed at least three more. I’m a certain kind of nerd, I guess. Black India ink, the bottle doesn’t say what brand, kakimori steel nib.
#inktober2024 #inktober2024drive today’s prompt is drive. The black is a Chinese calligraphy ink, the kind that has an ink stone, and a calligraphy brush. The red is J. Herbin rouge opera and a kakimori steel nib.

J. Herbin ink in eclat de sapphire and paintbrush on watercolor paper. My scanner made this even more intensely blue than it is and it lost a lot of the layers so this is a photo rather than a scan. I usually scan stuff, but I guess this is one of the limits of an otherwise very lovely scanner.

Today’s prompt is expedition. Do you know what you see when you search for expedition? SUVs. Huge, ugly SUVs. It’s hard to get a picture of anything else. I’ve already drawn two cars this inktober and I’m not drawing a third. J. Herbin ink in gris nuage, kakimori steel nib. #inktober2024 #inktober2024expedition
Today’s prompt is scarecrow so I went for the most stereotypically queer option. given another go I might make different choices about the background and that’s all I’ll say about that. #inktober2024 #inktober2024scarecrow

Yeah today’s prompt was jumbo so I drew an elephant, it was the best thing that came up on an image search because what could be better than an elephant? J. Herbin ink in diabolo menthe and kakimori steel nib on mixed media paper. #inktober2024 #inktober2024jumbo
Yesterday’s prompt was navigator so rather than drawing yet another car, here’s a sextant, which I have no idea how to use. J. Herbin ink in violette pensee and kakimori steel nib on mixed media paper. #inktober2024 #inktober2024navigator
Jill@normakrautmeyer that's a good elephant!
@JillsJoy thanks! Elephants are cool!
paramilitary organizer@normakrautmeyer I like it tbh
@t54r4n1 I’m not mad at myself about it but I might pick different colors?
Forestofglory@normakrautmeyer this makes me so grateful for pelco!
@Forestofglory what’s a pelco? An internet search says security cameras and that seems unlikely here?
@JillsJoy @normakrautmeyer yes, sorry I meant Pleco the Chinese -English dictionary app
@JillsJoy @Forestofglory hah. When I was in college we didn’t even have social media yet, much less smartphones and apps.
