Well, circumstances prohibited posting yesterday but I did manage to catch up with the #DiamineInkvent2025 17 and 18.
No. 17 is a standard ink, a perfectly pleasant purple called "Gala". I've switched to another notebook with recycled paper and it's being okay, but it has a slight yellowish cast, so that will affect things. It doesn't have as much bleed as I expected so that was interesting. I think I'll not use a wash on it at this stage though, I'm not familiar with the paper and how it will react.
The #dragon was fun to draw. I tried to get the sense of a cat sitting with its back to you and turning its head around to look. You can be the judge of whether I was successful.
No.18 and I'm really happy because they've given us another ultrasheen . It's called "Laurel" and is an earth dark green, and then the sheen is a rich red in the right light.
I don't think this paper is as sheen kind as the Clare Fontain, but it is definitely there, and it's quite beautiful, as the #gryphon will attest.
All in all a pretty nice drawing experience.
