gonna toot at least this one. i love this ink, i adore it, i wish to just draw and draw and draw with it. 'tis Koh-I-Noor Technical Drawing Ink in Blue. 'tis acrylic ink so u cant put it in pens, but it can be used with dip pens, glass pens and brushes. here i used Leonardt Hiro 41 nib, for example.

the dragon here is basically a concept for one of my games and technically he's my character as well. am not doing gamedev now as it burns me out and i dont have enough personal resources for it, but i still sometimes think and even sketch my characters from there. this concept is tbh wrong. the dragon looks slightly different. i failed to capture what was on my mind. but i still love the sketch cuz i enjoyed it a lot and the ink was awesome to draw with.

Finally got a moment to play with the new inks. I love the colors! Filled my Lamy Vista with the Evergreen and TWSBI Diamond with Golden Brown, it's a very calming color to write with but a bit challenging for drawing.

I'm not getting my two #dipPens to cooperate with the dropper bottle very well. Might be #userError.

Half the big drops on the paper are from the wooden dipper. That one works okay for a sentence but often drips a big blob in the middle of a letter.

My solution thus far is to take an empty converter, siphon directly from the bottle, then pour hot water into it and siphon a few drops of water that spilt onto my hand. Shake it up, rinse the nib, after a few scratches it's working.

I think this is an Extra Fine point so, YMMV.

Next time I'll siphon water first or try directly from a glass jar instead of pouring from a tea kettle. lol

Every time i see people use the Kakimori dip pen nib, all I see is them scratching their head and struggling with getting the line they want if it writes at all

.... i low key want one lol

#dippens

Warmup of the day, some ink bottles from life. Now that this is out of the way, time to work on my next pin designs which will feature bottles that could be read as either ink or poison (or maybe they will be poisonous ink)

Drawn with fountain pens and glass dip pens

Get yourself some hobbies where you are required to buy and use shimmering ink. 😁
[Also @monkeyninja got me this lovely journal from Beechmore and the paper is great even for this 4mm nib!] #calligraphy #ink #dippens
Indulging one of my more esoteric passions, #astrology, by working on a chum’s chart. It also means extensive use of #fountainpens, #dippens and #fountainpenink. Joy is the word I’m feeling. JOY! However, this toot is about #biscuits because I’m having one or three with a cup of tea while I work. This experience is likely to mean little outside of the UK, but unless you’ve had a Malted Milk biscuit smothered in Nutella and Crunchy Peanut Butter, you have not lived. Granted there’s no living terribly long eating these, but a little bit of what we fancy and all of that…
