Metal nib, green ink. Ink spreads nicely in the paper for this purpose, I think.

Inktober 3 — blue tree frog
Today, I experimented with some calligraphy/drawing ink I have, plus some gum arabic, and the same pens I’ve been using. Note to self: pen over gum arabic doesn’t work well. Still, I think it turned out rather well.
Inktober 2 — Octopus
Been busy all day, what with grocery shopping, the girl’s soccer, and gaming with friends. Finally sat down with pen and paper. In this case, a Uniball Signo. And the image I found on Twitter, linked from Tumblr (and because of the way iOS apps don’t always play well with others, I can’t even figure out whose Tumblr it was shared from, as if I click the “visit” link on Pinterest, I get the “please sign in” page for Tumblr, even though I’m signed in on the app; I’ll try to track down the original tomorrow — EDIT: Original is from http://absinthius.tumblr.com/post/38389336640/octopus).
Inktober 1 — Jaguar
This is based on a picture I took at Animal Ark last year. My proportions are all off, and I really should have done a pencil underdrawing to try to position the spots better. And maybe at some point this month, I’ll figure out how to use the different pen widths.
