Thank you! Yes, I tend to gravitate to ballpoint. Pencil is another thing altogether, yet also similar. I’ll put up some pencil someday, and I’ll have to get through a backlog of ballpoint. Thanks again!

Thank you for the kind words - appreciated!

Thank you! That was fun and surprisingly quick to do.

Yes, I did have a problem with yellowing, and that was the piece I was less careful about touching. I try not to ever touch the piece itself, though I do use my finger to push down the corner of the paper if/when it becomes warped due to the moisture in the air. The yellowing was where both the ink and the oil from my skin interacted. Not sure what’s going on with your stuff, however.

That sounds very accurate, thanks so much! I’ll have to be more conscious of that in the future. Lesson learned! I appreciate your response and help.

@@deathmetalpotatoIt may be something else, I dunno. It’s a good idea not to touch the paper for other reasons as well, so use something to rest your hand on every time. Best of luck to you!

Never late to my parties, pal.

I said to the alien, “I abduct you; you don’t abduct me.”

Most of my editing involves removing stomach growls 😢

😊

So happy you tuned in! Though I was born in the late ‘60s, I’m unaware of Ken Nordine. I’ll investigate. Thank you for your nice comment - appreciated!

Thank you! I sometimes struggle with “less is more”.

Aww, very kind. I discovered recently that these sessions (some? all?) are featured under the ASMR genre, which i did not add. Not sure how that happened. Thank you for your comment!

Ahh man that’s so nice to know. Thank you!

Thanks buddy; this one’s edit took more out of me than the drawing! Silly stuff.

What’re we talking about here?

Understandable; I sometimes fight sleep editing these sessions.

Thank you for subscribing! Yes, I’m mostly using a fine Bic, as well as a medium. I’m not familiar with Bic Round Stic.

@@sessionseaholm - Excellent & cheap pens! Love them.

That’s nice to hear, thank you. I’ve been teaching English in Tokyo since 2001.

@@sessionseaholmwow, i guessed correctly. i’m jealous! Japan is my number one destination i’d love to travel to. it’ll probably never happen though. maybe in the next life

I finished that line (spoiler alert, lol).

Yes, PeterDraws creates some wild stuff, and he’s quite prolific. Also, he can spin a good yarn while he’s doing it!

I don’t remember why it’s named as it is, lol. If I were to guess, I think he was looking at the Node type things and said, screw it, it’s called Nodes! If I were to guess. And oh yes, it’s getting wild!

There have been two pen makers I’ve used mostly, and one I’m phasing out because they changed the ink formula. This one I’m using now has been consistent for decades. It often takes me many sessions to complete a drawing, so the ink can look the same each time, and that happys me. If you’re interested in achieving the kind of line and softness of gradient you see in these sessions, it doesn’t matter the pen you use if you’re aware of three things - the ink, the nib, and the paper. The ink is oil-based (not water), the nib is fine (not too thick), and the paper is, well, that one is the most difficult to explain. Quality paper isn’t always the best for quality of line. I can achieve very nice results on a type of newsprint, which will fall apart in so many years. My best advice is use an oil-based pen and try it out on paper. What pen and what paper is up to you. I happen to like this one I’m using now. I’ll use a different one in future sessions from time to time, though.

@@sessionseaholm thank you for such a detailed and informative response!

That’s very kind of you - thank you!

Thank you!

:)

Oh you draw alongside me? The spirit of the collab!

Thank you, Tristan! I appreciate you coming along. It means a lot to me.

🫵

Thank you so much. I just finished this piece and will upload it later tonight, so check back in tomorrow to see the exciting conclusion! Thanks again.

Ha, thanks! Pressure, and time ;)

Thank you, glad you like it! I have the book, but have yet to read it. I do love his sister’s (Poe) music.

Thank you - means a lot that I can pass on a feeling of satisfaction - thanks again!

Thank you!

Thank you! What kind of projects do you have going on? Don’t be hesitant to post a link here!

Thank you! The composition is a bit too right-heavy for me to think it’s completely successful, though I appreciate your taste here, very much. It’s refreshing to hear how others see these. The lay down of the ink and the general weirdness is what I value from this piece. I’m thinking of revisiting it to sort out the lopsided weight, or I could let it go and move on? Thank you for your thoughtful comment; much appreciated!

​@@sessionseaholmidk, i get what you mean about the lobsided weight. But if I was in your shoes I'd kinda be scared to touch it honestly, scared to ruin it since it happens kinda often when I draw in pen. Idk what your frequency for botching drawings is tho, you seem to have stuff under control so maybe it would be for the best to shoot for a more balanced composition. Either may much love your stuff is awesome ❤

@@pigeonanimations6118Oh yes I know what you mean! The blank page is the place I feel most comfortable (no way to mess it up), and once any part becomes nice enough to make me want to continue, I’m not entirely comfortable working on it. There’s a thrill there, living on the edge, almost as if I were a gambler. Yes, much of the drawing is covering up perceived “mistakes”. In this drawing’s case, the lopsidedness could be seen more as a feature, so I’ll probably just go with it. btw, one trick I do to get myself over the worry about messing up the drawings is to remind myself I’m the one who got it this far, so there isn’t any reason I’ll not be able to go further.

@@sessionseaholm truee, thats a good way to think of it (the last part)

Hey, thanks - I appreciate that!

What a review! Thank you for that.

It’s not unlike it doesn’t need to title.

@sessionseaholm nor wouldn't it need not for a title, neither
