In July E & I spent some chill out time in the charming village of Staithes; in North Yorkshire UK. We had a great time walking along the coast, watching the tide, tasting the bitters and beachcombing.
Here are a few ink brush drawings from my sketchbook from that area and also some from after we got back. I’ve always used a Pental Pocket Brush Pen, which I like, but was curious to see it there were any alternatives. Towards the end of August I bought a Kuretake No. 50 which I really like too although it does seem to have some ink flow issues (almost too much ink in the brush at times).
Of these sketches, only the last 2 (jura landscape & airplane interior) where done with the Kuretake, so it’s not like it changes my style in any way. But it is “better” in the sense that it is that much more responsive to the changes in pressure and to the movements you make with it.
However it is a tiny bit shorter as well as being more expensive and deluxe in style; so not as easily thrown into the bottom of your bag..
