A la recherce de scribbles past
These were done a long, long time ago. Before I convinced myself I couldn't do it. Most of these were done with a 0.1 cartographic nib and India ink on cartridge paper.

ReplyDeleteKevin... superb sir. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, Kevin. I know, you've got to use it, or you lose it. I haven't drawn or painted anything in years.
ReplyDeleteThey're good!
ReplyDeleteTop notch work sir!

Charming. How did you get the Whiskered Bat to stay still for long enough?? "Alright, Mr Musgrove, another 10 minutes, but I've got a 3 o'clock with Sir Peter Scott and he doesn't like to be kept waiting".
ReplyDeleteWonderful Kevin.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could still do them - you are probably looking for difficulties that you ignored in younger days.
Oh ther're lovely Kev! Crikey you're as bad as me for giving things up.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I'm preparing myself to do some calligraphy tomorrow - I will probably swear a lot - I reckon you should get your nibs moving as well!
