Stained

I’m taking a short drawing course (‘about time, you loser!’). This week we worked with a dip pen. I’ve used them before, but never liked them.
With hindsight I think it is because I was using the wrong paper.

Today I was goofing around with it some more, just drawing lines, getting a feel for it, sometimes adding some text.

Then I drew something, reminded me of an eye, added some text and liked it.

Stupid fun:

quick drawing of something resembling an eye with rays coming out of it.
It has the title: "the eye of God", the eye saying "the things I have seen, I tell you: it's not fun"

EDIT: I didn’t add other pics before, because the texts were in Dutch, but now I’ve decided that I can add a translation as a caption.

Not sure if people find everything funny, but it was to me.

A pen drawing of sad looking little stick-man saying "I'm sad because nobody wants to talk with me about Gaza."
“I’m sad because nobody wants to talk with me about Gaza.”

Wanted to draw a Panda, but didn’t know of the top of my head what they looked like 😀

Pen drawing of weird misshapen looking bear with black around its eyes saying "You really have no idea how to draw a Panda, do you?"
“You really have no idea how to draw a Panda, do you?”

Irony: covering up a stain, then adding text and making more stains. Being patient enough to let the ink dry is a major challenge for me.

Pen drawing of a stork with something hanging from the tip of its beak. The thing is saying "I'm hanging here, just to camouflage a stain"
“I’m hanging here, just to camouflage a stain”

I took a quick look how to draw a Panda (still not right ,but recognizable now). The eyes turned out quite sad, which gave me the idea for the text.

Pen drawing of sad looking Panda saying "I'm only drawn, because I'm black and white"
“I’m only drawn, because I’m black and white”

I really like the weird vulture like thing, but that has nothing to do with the text. I was drawing storks because of the black and white and I had a orange marker lying close by.

Pen drawing of a stork on its nest with begging young. The stork saying "That's not true, some of my best friends are frogs!"
“”That’s not true, some of my best friends are frogs!””
