Still Doodling with some Brushes

Felt like doodling with ink tonight, so I grabbed an inexpensive Blick Economy short round #2 brush and used it to doodle on the Maruman Art Spiral watercolor book with the J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary ink.
Dried watercolor stick washes.
Adding an outline with the J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary ink and a Blick Economy short round #6 brush. Here is a short video of some brush doodling on the Exacompta sketchbook.
Demo video. Combined the shavings from the water soluble 2B Lyra Graphite crayon and some water to make some ink for drawing.
This picture shows how stained the Aquaflo waterbrush nib ended up after blending the watersoluble graphite tests from yesterday. This test video shows that the dried wash from the blended pencil strokes was fairly resistant to erasing, but the dry graphite ink wash was slightly easier to lighten with an electric eraser.
Demo video. Quick doodle drawn with a Winsor & Newton Gold Sceptre II 4 round sable/synthetic blend brush.Monster bird sketch.2-minute demo video. Fat dragon doodle using the Aquaflo waterbrush. Thinking of video taping future impromptu doodle sessions trying out assorted materials from my collection in an attempt to increase posting frequency.

Just today I have seen two people talking about that J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Ink... I'm going to end up buying some at this rate! Lovely stuff.
