Yay! Art supply talk!! <Arsenio Hall-style arm pump> And I *also* make an ornament every year--loved to see you used air-dry clay! (I will ponder that for this year!) I usually do needle felting, like this year's raccoon: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1D9jxVOBvO/?img_index=1, but it would be fun to mix things up!
OMG. My friend gave me the Blackwing Matte pencil and then my husband gave me Sailor FUDE Fountain Pen, and these two are now my main sketching supplies. And I am also a leftie :D
You're inspiring me to play more with pens this year. I'm a huge pencil person, and I do mean huge as I love the chunky ones. But I've been craving some chaos as I've gotten too perfecto with them lately. So bring on the ink!
I always reach for my fudenosuke for journaling and sketching, but I looooove the texture of your sailor FUDE lines. You’re making me debate if I need to add it to my art hoard.
I love the air dry clay ornament idea- pinning that for next year!! And I’m soooo close to pulling the trigger on a fude pen too, I got my first fountain pen this year (Kaweco) and I mostly use it for my office job/writing. I want the fude for drawing! This was a fun read as always!
Oooo! I want to try these Blackwings- I only use the 602 right now! For the sharpener- I leave an exact knife next to it- for the life of me, I cannot find another way to pop it open. Thanks for sharing! I always love seeing supplies other artists use!

Aaaaaand okay, I'm ordering it! 😆
Thank you for sharing, as always! I also got the Sailor fude and I am scared to try it! I love seeing your sketches though. Inspiring! :)
Your drawings have so much charm to them, it's insane!

I'd be LION if I said this post didn't make me want to go buy some air-dry clay! What a sweet tradition and they're so lovely.
Look forward to seeing your response to Ronald Searles style. I love the Molesworth books so much.
