This year instead of participating in Inktober, where I try and use different inks during the month, I decided to do my own “Doodle-tober.” So I took all the supplies I had at hand (more about those below) and started playing. I took lots of inspiration from Instagram, and I’m hoping to develop my own style. Here are a few of my doodles!
Now since this is a pen and ink and paper blog, here are the supplies I’m using.

Pens:
My new favorites:
Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen Hard Black – I think I got this one in a sampler pack from Jet Pens a while back. It is now my FAVORITE black pen. It’s a brush pen, but the line it puts down is thin enough to almost me a liner for me. Edgings? Details? I love this pen.
TriC Art Performance Dual Brush – I don’t know what these are. A quick Google returns a set on eBay. When I started doodling my husband said, “I have some markers you might like.” He’s right. I love them. They’ve got a fine liner tip and a brush tip, and I think they’re basically Tombow knockoffs… I guess I’m saving my pennies for a set of Tombows?

I love these, Laura! You have a great sense of color and composition!
Aww thanks! That means a lot coming from you. I think some of it is putting yarn colors together. 🙂
Those are really lovely!
Hi! I specially like the brickwall-ish one, and the blue and yellow round one resembling a stained glass pannel. Keep up within that inspiration, very nice work indeed. Cheers! Vic, from from Portugal
