A nib will never be a brush!
To nib or not to nib … ;)

@Yosoone
You know, replace your toothbrush with a metal pick, your hair brush with a handful of dip pens. Or a hedgehog. Do the best job with metal! Gotta be fast!

@goblingua Just a Stab from behind..

@Yosoone
no ferrule to get clogged. No bad hair days. Always precision detail, stays smol line size unless pressed to perform!
I do not know if it would like a textured surface as well, but tiny nib might make it in to proper paint supplies pile. Next to the butter knives and palette knives... which are also so good at using instead of brushes...

@goblingua it’s about the feeling,,, the flow…

@Yosoone
The sacrifices art demands of each of us...

@goblingua I surrendered to the calling a long time ago... then the discipline if you want to remain sane… Health draws better lines anyway…

@Yosoone
Disciplindeed... I have far to go in even approaching traditional realism, portraiture, landscape, or painting what one sees. It would be nice to reach in disciplined directions, to utilize what is there differently.

With writing, I am glad for some recent focus and direction. There are larger scale projects I will have to double down on soon!

@goblingua one drop at a time ;) 🩸Some Nibs I enjoyed recently!

@Yosoone
Nice! G nibs are my jam.
How is the maru hard?

There are fountain pens with flex nibs, and fude nibs. I am considering if a flex pen will perform very nicely!

Thank you for sharing!

@goblingua I like the maru hard better... maybe... it feels more direct and thinner? … I hope to try the other maru when I see it somewhere... Water and brushes tho... beats it all... it’s alive…

@goblingua fountain pains are practical… smoother? Not much more to me…

Brushes are very wonderful. The are best for many things, and are very vital. The living feel of movements of the brush head...
I enjoy smearing colors without fully mixing them! I would like to incorporate smearing with brushes in relative harmonies, if I can.

There are some other ink styles I can upload as well, assets for an upcoming zine series. No brushes, but fun patterns on that set.

@goblingua

I would not mind making a remix in a small digital zine just to see what the work says... maybe a small blind selection?

@Yosoone
This is splendid! I love it.

Alright fine, hold on. I'll put a scaled down version of one of these recent assets...

@Yosoone
You mean like art zine put together, with remix?

@goblingua front amd back cover, or middle? Ill take the back one, european style back page 😂

@Yosoone
I wonder how many textures could be harmonious, and what is possible!

I have decent resolutions of all of these assets, so chunks could still be pages or panels.
I wonder if one picture at full resolution would fill 8 A5 pages, etc.!

If you would like to art texture colaborate, yeah, let's do it! Any of my original resolution versions can be available to you, no problem. Or we can decide on form and the like, and see what is good!

@goblingua

Best not to overthink it, it takes the fun away.

Maybe we send one image at a time and see what takes shape? Maybe aim for a small size. 16 each or what ever.

I usually do full spread on a3’s, so I don’t have to worry too much about complex compositions and it remains modular.

If you feel like it, I wouldn't mind seeing what you would come up with with the pics we select and whichever format you feel.

Either way, simple and spontaneous…

@Yosoone
These sizes look really nice for some detail! Great stuff!

@goblingua about a third of an a4. Fits in a smallish bag…

@Yosoone
I am very curious of the materials here!
I really love the patterns and effects!

They are very natural feeling textures.

@goblingua ink and water on some kind of washi paper. A touch of mineral paint for the colour.

@Yosoone
I have always wanted to work on a zine of just pictures or patterns that has good flow.
I would love to work on some flat thicker surfaces for making more patterned pieces!

@goblingua bloody…

@Yosoone
Beautiful proportion with gesture!

@goblingua
Those EF nibs are still decently practical for spontaneous outdoor use…

@goblingua I mean discipline! 🧘🙏🙇

@goblingua It is all about the surface... Needles will feel like a brush when you dig into the skin until you reach a bone.. them it feels like a chisel…

@goblingua Fingers and mud… back to the roots… roll into it…
