Sketch // pen and ink // tea

I've been practicing with my old ink pen. It's only by some sort of miracle that this doodle isn't covered with ink. I make such a mess with this pen. Ink is all over my fingers and the pen is covered, too. There must be something I don't know, for surely when this was the only kind of pen people had, they managed to stay ink free. They were all dressed much better than me, too. Sigh.
