Description Since I replaced expensive felt-tip art pens with fountain pens, I have been hesitant and careful, avoiding unwanted smears and ink blots. I have held my breath and waited for one thing to dry before starting the next. I have also been drawing basically one thing at all recently: pretty girls.

To get out of my comfort mold I did some quick wolf sketches and pulled my ink and pen from my desk, sat down at the table and started to go wild without fear of imperfection. I haven't done one of these ink drawings in a long long time and I admit it, it felt really good!

The words are my way of writing down feelings sensations and visuals, without revealing anything on the page. Its more personal I think...

And my college art lessons are paying off, I didn't even realize how well this piece flows with the eyes, from large emphasized wolf, looking at subtle blended wolf, who is looking at the small running wolf, who is headed straight for the soft words at the top of the page. Woohoo, I learned something else new!

Thank you! I drew this because I was usually overly careful when using dip-pens and crowquil pens with ink. I was really scared of dripping on the page so I was always super careful, so I decided to draw something and not be careful at all! Its really fun, good luck!

Oh my, this really does flow very well, I love that feeling of movement the scribbles give, like the wolf is running away from them as they give chase.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with those, I like the effects than can be achieved by blowing on a fountain pen, they are fun!
