Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the June doodle. I don’t have a name for this pattern, but I guess Circles or Dots would be appropriate. To go along with the circle theme, I used the circle template from last month’s doodle to keep these contained in a nice, round pattern. These dots want a nice, wet pen, preferably …
Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the May doodle. I started doing this Petals pattern, knowing it was one that I enjoyed and that it could take up a lot of space, but I soon realized I didn’t know how to tie the separate patterns together into one big, cohesive doodle. It turns out I ran out of time …
Continuing my A3 Doodle Project, here is the April doodle. I had originally planned on filling up the entire sheet of paper with this pattern, but it was deceptively much more time consuming than I thought it would be. Every time I’d sit down to doodle for 10-15 minutes, I’d put down my pen and it looked like hardly any …
Earlier this year I was gifted a pack of original A3-sized Tomoe River 52gsm paper. While I was very happy to receive such a wonderful gift, it immediately presented a problem for me. More than one, actually. First, what the heck am I going to do with A3 paper? It’s way too big for most practical uses and I hate …

Can you believe it’s already time for the Colorado Pen Show again? This year the show takes place on October 17-19 in Denver. Once again, I’ll have a table at the show and will also be teaching a few classes. At my table, I’ll be selling a variety of paper sample packs, and some fountain-pen-friendly notebooks. While I don’t sell …
The next pattern in my Doodling With Fountain Pens series is a fun one that’s pretty easy. In fact, it’s fairly similar to the Starburst pattern. I always call this one Radiate since that’s what it looks like to me. If you’re ready, grab a pen and some paper and let’s get started! If you’d prefer a video to a …
This week in my Doodling With Fountain Pens series I want to show you a few different random doodle patterns that can be worked in with other larger patterns or are also fun to draw on their own. If you’re ready, grab a pen and some paper and let’s get started! Thoughts On These Patterns In my opinion, most of …
The next pattern in my Doodling With Fountain Pens series is one that I feel comes out different every time I draw it. It’s not difficult to draw, but I think it is tricky to make look good, so don’t get frustrated if your first few attempts don’t turn out the way you want. I don’t really know what to …
The next pattern in my Doodling With Fountain Pens series is one that is fairly soothing and simple to draw. Every time I look at this pattern I feel like it’s spreading across the page, so I’m calling it Spread. If you’re ready, grab a pen and some paper and let’s get started! Thoughts On This Pattern Similar to the …
