It's amazing how interesting everything you draw is to see. The freedom with which you draw and paint is enviable. In a way, it's funny that when you're a child and you paint freely, you're taught to paint within the lines exclusively, and then when you're an adult, it's hard, personally, to paint freely like you do sometimes. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly and in detail.
I have owned a set of four Pilot Parallel pens for around ten years, which I once used to practice calligraphy. They are remarkable pens, very free-flowing and versatile with regard to stroke variation, but I never considered using them for sketching until I watched your video. I will now dig the pens out from the back of a drawer and add them to my sketching arsenal. 😃 Thank you for the inspiration. 🙏🏻
Yo dibuje el primer que lo tuve tras vérselo a el . Y pienso usarlo más. Si quieres ver mi prueba @miguelcarreroquesada2728 Me quedé muy sorprendido ! No lo conocía y pensé que no podría dibujar , pero sí y tiene muchas posibilidades. Sin llegar nunca al nivel del maestro.
Thank you Martin. I'm currently working through 100 mini portraits using the same reference using different media and techniques, so I'll definitely be using these pens. I already have the same two you have, and the Thea ink too as you had recommended it! Always love your style, and seeing what you draw in your sketchbooks.
I love the way you draw Martin. There's just something about it. I have drawn a few of your sketch works for my home. This video is lovely and crisp and clear to follow which makes a huge difference. Thanks 🇦🇺❤
Really like your art style and use of these pens. I also have the 2.4mm and 3.8mm, currently with Pilot's cartridges, which are nice and colourful. I have a 6mm one as well but have a Con 40 ink convertor in it with De Atramentis Document ink (brown in this case), which is a waterproof ink. This seems fine in the pen and is the ink I use in my Kaweco Sport fountain pens with no ill-effect to the pen.
I really like this 'loose style', Martin! And as always: Very inspiring and useful video for my next drawings! Thank you very much and have a happy weekend! Greetings, Anton | The Netherlands
I wasn't aware of Parallel Pens until a few weeks ago. Since then, every video I've come across has the artist adapting them in some way. This is the first time I've seen someone use them as they are.
