Here's a look at the drawing process! Done with fountain pen and watercolor, I was trying to channel vintage picture books and old New Yorker cartoons with this one.

Do you have a rec for a good not expensive fountain pen? I have one that I don’t love.

I'd say the Pilot Metropolitan or the Sailor Fude De Mannen! The one I'm using here is a Noodler's Ahab, which is good for drawing but can be kind of fussy and leaky.

What kind of paper does that thing have? Bean meaning to get sketchbooks that are good with makers and water color so I can do more with color. ( Most of the one I used were the cheap one that good with pencil and not much else)
