Click on the picture to see a larger version on Flickr. I used my new fountain pen (Lamy Safari) with Noodler's eternal black ink, followed by Winsor & Newton watercolours. I'm fairly pleased with the result aside from the streaky sky, and I would like the trees to be darker. I'm very happy with the Noodler's ink. I can paint over it after just a few moments and it seems pretty waterproof on all the papers I've tried it on so far.
Another new "toy" I've been playing with are a small set of Tombow brush pens in various shades of gray and black. Somewhere I saw someone using them for small value sketches, which I thought was a great idea. This was a quick value sketch for the above picture:
I'm not sure how much I'll use the Tombow pens but they are fun, and I think doing this type of sketch more often would be valuable for me.
