I’m new to watercolor and sketching and have learned a lot from your videos. I’ve never noticed how you hold your pen before. That may solve my problem with developing the loose style I love. Thank you.

Toby, have you published any books on loose urban sketching?

[sharonbaker]

Great demo and tips! Very well explained! I have just started trying my hand at line and wash but don't really know what I'm doing, so I am calling it "play". Am using a Pigma Micron pen at the moment, but love the idea of using non-watercolor inks. Fountain or dip pens will be my next "play"!

Hi Toby. I love your tutorials. You mentioned using smooth paper for fountain pens what paper do you use when you are adding watercolor.

Great helpful and insightful video, thanks.

Brilliant Toby, you are gracious and patient with your time and skills, thank you 😊

[marilynmckenzie]

Thanks so much for showing me the correct way to use my fountain pen for loose sketching!! And also to see how non waterproof ink can be blended using a brush for shading. Loved learning your techniques and tips today.! 👏🏻👏🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

Excellent video Toby, especially how to hold the pen correctly for loose sketching, going to give it a shot right now, Merci.

I really enjoyed your approach to fountain pens. Thank you for sharing. My Safari pen has indentations for finger placement. I am going to try moving my fingers above them.

What are your thoughts on Fude pens? I love the marks they make but I can’t stop mine from clogging (and I’ve tried lots of different inks). Any tips?

[cathrynallan]

Thank-you very much for this splendid video. It has encouraged me to take the deep leap into ‘ink first’. I admire your work and teaching techniques. 😀

[Bella-vunx]

Thank you I’ve just bought a fountain pen and it’s been a lot of fun - your videos have been very inspiring and enjoyable. 😊

Toby, thank you for this video, I am excited to get started trying sketching with a fountain pen. I did have a few questions, first is there an ink cartridge that you can get that has waterproof ink in it? And secondly will all ink cartridges work in all pens or are they specific to the pen? Thank you. :)

Hi, thanks for the video. Please can you tell me what the name is of the the brown pen you use in the video? Thank you.

[bikeridernz]

Your sketching ideas are sooo good and I really really like your talking style. Thank you so much.

Thank you - another excellent, information filled & informative session!

If you have a noodlers ahab pen you can get the best nib that will fit the ahab from fountain pen revolution. I t is a #6 fine or x fine ultra flex nib
