continuous line

Continuous line drawings of some tulips using a Lame fountain pen a friend gave me.
Sketchers love the Lame because you can get thick and thin lines. But mostly what I get are inky fingers! I struggle to control the ink flow.
I got a big blob of ink and smeared it around to get that gray background.
But I hope to get the hang of it. The ink cartridges also come in colors!

These are lovely, but I understand the inky fingers!

Lol. Yes. And inky wrists. And inky elbows!

Looking good.... is it a particular nib? I have always found pen nibs to be a bit too stiff unless they are dip pens and this looks like it is really flexible.
