Cats with Fude Pen

Now that the temperature has turned cool the cats are snuggling up more together and this afternoon they were uncomfortably trying to occupy the same cat bed. Esme is on top of Winston in the sketch here at left.

I have sketched the cats here with my Sailor Fude pen which I just resurrected today. This is a bent-nib fountain pen that is designed for Japanese calligraphy and is easily manipulated to give very thin to quite thick lines. I have loaded the ink cartridge with De Atramentis Urban Gray ink which is waterproof, though I don’t use any wash in this sketch.
