Inking an Iris in Pen & Ink | Glass Dip Pen + India Ink Line Art

In this video I’m inking an iris flower using just two tools: black ink and a glass dip pen. I’m using HadyArt waterproof India ink, which has become one of my favorite inks lately because it dries completely waterproof and has a beautifully deep, rich black that’s perfect for delicate floral line art. In this calm, real-time inking session, I’ll walk you through: • how I decide where to start inking (and why I work from left to right, top to bottom) • how I think about line weight for petals in front vs. petals in the background • what I love about the simplicity of pen and ink as a medium • how I’m experimenting with different glass dip pens • a few honest struggles when the ink doesn’t flow as smoothly as I’d like You’ll also see how I finish the piece with a simple background wash, using the same black ink and a flat brush to gently frame the iris without overpowering the line work. Glass dip pens are my current favorite tools, and I’m testing several right now while I work on designing my own signature pen for floral line art, which I hope to release next year. I hope this video feels like a quiet drawing session with a friend and inspires you to pick up your own pen and ink. QUESTION FOR YOU What pen or ink are you loving right now? Or would you like to try a glass dip pen? Tell me in the comments — I’d love to know. — Nahiely Akbaly Floral
