Very nice!! I'm new subscriber, excellent drawings you have here! Is that a Bic pen? I use black Bic roundstik for my drawings and the ink is great for shading and for a different line variations.
@@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
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.
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!
You ever heard of PeterDraws? UA-camr who posts videos of him doing art. He always sounds calm and relaxed and your video gives me the same vibe. The styles aren’t really similar, but you have things in common.

Love your work brother. Always gives me a boost. Stay welll
Ahh man that’s so nice to know. Thank you!

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.

Do you find those pens work the best? What makes you choose those pens specifically I guess 😂

@@sessionseaholm thank you for such a detailed and informative response!
What inspired the name of this piece? That's gonna be a really fun and wild area in the not-quite-the-middle.

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