it looks as though you might have used a calligraphy pen.

Good luck then. I have dual point sharpies, so you might want a thin and a normal one to get that look

I have always loved this style of drawing, it has to be my favorite. So could you please define minimalism for me? I think I have a good idea about what it is but I'd like to be sure.

Well, first I would like to say that I am not sure if this bird is minimalism or not... I'm not sure what to call it, and I think that many people would call it minimalism, but technically, I don't think it is. that is because the definition would be to represent as much as you can with as little as you can. In other words, draw a few lines to represent something. Don't draw all the details or even bother to connect the lines you do draw, the less you can get away with the better. So when drawing minimalism... as well as this style (which I just call "pretty line art" ) what I do is I make a rough sketch, including all the rough details and composition, and then I figure out which lines I feel are most important to give the viewer the general feeling, then I draw just those lines and erase everything else. If there isn't enough to give the right impression, then I might add another line. That is basically it.

lol, It seems you should have posted this as a tattoo design. It looks good, like a colorless phoenix!

No kidding... but seeing how it wasn't originally intended as that, I didn't
