Edit: Die Frage wurde tatsächlich in Rekordzeit beantwortet. Ich lasse alles so stehen, falls noch jemand sucht. Danke! :)

Liebe Mitmenschen!

Ich besitze neuerdings zwei japanische und war etwas überrascht: Die dazu gehörigen haben eine ganz spezifische Form. Ich denke, man kann die ein paar Mal mit einer Spritze neu befüllen, aber gibt es vielleicht auch für diese Form?

Vielen Dank! :)

The Pilot Parallel Pen is a fountain pen for calligraphy that uses two parallel plates instead of tines. I used a Dremel to give the 6mm version a parabolic edge, allowing for a huge variety of stroke widths in a single pen. Here’s a quick wetlands study. #art #artsky #penandink #parallelpen

Spent some quality time doing pen & ink this evening. I got myself a Pilot Parallel Pen today, and enjoyed scratching out this scene with it. Boardwalk in Hackensack River County Park, Hackensack, NJ. 10x8. #art #artsky #artyear #penandink #parallelpen #blackandwhite

This is a black and white ink drawing depicting a wooden boardwalk winding through a natural landscape. The boardwalk, made of wooden planks, curves gently into the distance, drawing the viewer’s eye deeper into the scene. A railing on the left side provides a structural element that contrasts with the organic forms of the surrounding trees and foliage.

The artist uses bold black areas, fine cross-hatching, and expressive line work to create depth and texture. The dense trees and vegetation frame the composition, with intricate patterns of branches and leaves adding richness. Light and shadow are skillfully suggested through varying line weights and negative space, enhancing the sense of atmosphere. The overall effect is a dynamic and immersive landscape that captures the beauty of nature and the inviting quality of the boardwalk.
