I love the tonal range on the sweater, from the argyle cross-hatching to the beautiful ink strokes on the sleeves (those are what really get me. Quite a neat drawing. He does look a bit smug.

I've used it in my Moleskine sketchbook, where fountain pen ink seems to just hover on the surface of the paper. I prefer drawing with fountain pens, though. Regarding drawing/sketching with fountain pens, it depends on what kind of line you prefer. If you like a uniform line, any modern fountain pen will work--Parker, Sheaffer, Pelikan, Lamy (lots of people seem to like the Lamy Safari for drawing), Rotring, Waterman, etc. Doesn't have to be expensive, either. If you like variation of line thickness, then you'd want something with a flexible nib. In that case, you probably want to look for a vintage pen. I'm using an Esterbrook J, which cost me somewhere in the mid $20s on eBay with a 9128 nib on it. Don't remember exactly how much the nib cost--mid teens, low 20s, maybe. The 9128 is not the most flexible nib you can get on a vintage fountain pen, though. Old Waterman pens (and other brands) can have much more flexible nibs.
