10 Black Pen Illustrations

Presenting before you 10 of my black pen illustrations, which I had already posted on on my instagram account – @paperandprose. 😀

The first one is for all Dr Who fans.

Can you read Gallifreyan? 😊 Let’s  see if you can decipher this.  It’s so interesting to see how different symbols are arranged to make words. Very complicated too.  And I thought trigonometry was tough. 😅

Underwater – Isn’t  marine life a muse in itself? So many varieties of beautiful shapes and forms that inspire you to draw and imitate them on paper.

Although my little jelly fish kinda looks like an alien ship from a Tom Cruise movie.  😅

I came up with the below idea while I was in the bathroom washing my face. And since I am really bad at remembering these bulb 💡 moments, I ended up drawing it soon after. The plan is to make a better and bigger version of this.

 

Dotwork – made entirely by dots… No dashes.

The initial idea was to draw a complete whale,  but I couldn’t fit it in, so well,  just a tail for now 😊

Since my drawing skills are really limited when it comes to life forms,  I end up making everything look like a cartoon character 😅

This was completely inspired by Disney movie Moana,  which I had watched just before drawing this. Dots and dashes,  no it’s not Morse  code…  It’s  stippling.

This one is for Assam, my home statePopular for one horned rhinos and black tea.  Can you spot other characteristics that depict this beautiful northeastern state of India?

More than a decade ago,  I visited Arunachal Pradesh with my hostelmates as a part of hostel picnic. The memory of this beautiful land is still eteched in my mind. We found a spot on the bank of a gushing river, at the foot of the lush green mountains. I didn’t see the night sky as we had to return back,  but I imagine it must be incredible 😊

  1. OMG these are super awesome. You are so talented. And the funniest part here is that i have been following paper and prose for quite a while and i didn’t know it was you. 😅😅 I have admired the collection there so much, but didn’t really know that it was your account.

    Hope to try some of these some day, though it seems daunting.

Let’s keep the conversation flowing!
