Drawing during meetings

I took the habit of drawing during meetings at the office. It helps me being concentrated, and allow me to draw without thinking about drawing, like a background process that happen while I speak to other people. At the end of the meeting, I browse the pages of my sketchbook to see what I realized. Many of them a totally worthless, but from time to time, one really stand out. I like using a fountain pen for drawing, with a 14k gold nib, fine and flexible. My favorite pen is a Japanese Foutain Pen, made in the 60's. Pilote Socrates. I bought it on Ebay for a fair price at Kamakura Store. Check out their website, there a very rare and beautiful items.
