วีดีโอ

I’m a kid at heart, can’t wait for this pen to arrive to me 😊

Thank you

Thank you.

ROFL "You're wondering, 'how long will this guy ramble on about a pen with no ink in it?' Good question, I was wondering that myself." I like conversational vids, this was great.

My attempt at cheap heavyweight paper is cereal/biscuit box paper. More like cardstock than watercolour paper though.

You are a mess

And that's why I do digital arts. Lots of drawing tablet stands or using just a separate display to draw on from a drawing pad and never look down again. I've seen large pen displays propped up in standing desk setups with monitor arm stands at chest level and it looked RLY comfy Also, instead of VR, you could get those massage tables where you lay flat on your belly, face in a cushion, and then you can draw like that

I think that carving the nibs hole would reduce the swelling to a manageable level. Since there is less material that can push the nib apart. allowing the sides to provide the structural strength.

Wow, what a strange art medium O.o (The paper, not you, I'm not about to assume your clothing size, nor your ability to predict the future :b)

3:15 What happened is that someone did an analysis in 2015 and discovered that Brontosaurus was distinct enough from Apatosaurus to be a separate genus. It’s really cool how Brontosaurus made a comeback

Yo, that's so cool You did a really good job :D

It makes me appreciate just how awesome and advanced good paper is. Sizing, fibres, capillary action, all the good stuff is amazing. And all from natural materials.

dude, idk why but looking at the backgrounds of these types of books give be a mixed feeling of nostilga and mystery

This yupo thing is useful for some stuff but can't replace the feeling and texture of "real" paper

Seems interesting, like a textured whiteboard. If you can indeed scrub it clean after uses, it could maybe be useful for making pieces you don't want to keep, like daily figure drawing practice. Otherwise, seems like a hassle for wet mediums, worse than paper buckling.

Welcome back legend!! Glad to hear your voice and see your art again.

Can't believe it's been over 100 days since I've upload a video. In case your wondering I've been reading comments just as much. So sorry about that.

The introduction is super!

"If you're looking for a link in the description... You won't find it there. I've helped you as much as I want to". I entered the comments section to tip my hat to this perfectly understated outro.

you ust helped me solve a very very big problem...thank you

man, once i took a leaf of huge blue agave leaf cause i wanted to make some brushes...

hey what is the type or a brand of your leaky ass fountain pen? i need one :D

That’s unfortunate that you are so limited in which pens you can comfortably use! I think you may be uptight, holding onto the pen as if it’s going to be snatched from your hold. I just Love the Jinhao 80, as I’m retired and cannot afford a Lamy 2000. I think they’ve done a wonderful job on these dupes, hats off to them. Also, I’m always very careful how tight I screw them back on, as so many are plastic and can be ruined easily- treat them tenderly, respect them. They may be cheap, but if you abuse a cheap pen, you will do the same when you buy an expensive one! Like allowing a child to walk all over the old, worn out couch, guess what will happen when you can now afford that very pricey new couch…..yep, because he never learned respect. I think it’s Crazy how the Lamy dupes come with converters, but buy a Lamy Safari for about $30. And it has no converter Or cartridge…..shame on them!

jinhao x750. While it looks good and writes ok, I would not recommend it. The nib dries out quickly and the cap tend to come off easily.

The EF nib is my daily pen I keep in my jeanspocket. I do a lot of paper work and still get a little excited when it's time to write. I really enjoy Manga dip nibs so the little bit of feedback I get is really nice. I'm 40 by the way and do very serious work. Only thing I find lacking is I can't get one in solid brass.

I DID NOT EXPECT THAT ENDING HAHAHAAAAAA

I dunno I like the micron it bleeds less and smudge less especially if you always slide the tsquare on the paper you just need to have a consistent angle the problem I have with artline is it bleeds if it is in one position for so long and for unipin it smudge if you are working too fast but the nib for micron as the tip gets smaller is not so durable thats why I get the kuretake zig for 0.05 and 0.03 even the 0.1 since the bleed is not as unendurable as the artline and it doesn’t smudge even if you are too fast but the bigger the nib of the kuretake zig the more the bleed becomes noticeable just take into mind micron needs to have consistent angle and kuretake needs consistent line weight

Hilarious sketchbook review and very helpful as well! Two thumbs up.

Thank you for this accurate illustration

Greetings! Im very interested in buying this pencil in 0.3 mm, can you recommend it after all these years? Really appreciated the review, especially intro and drawing parts.

I found the Jetstreams to be pretty wet and blotchy. Both Parker and Cross ballpoint refils are lightfast, I believe. Parker mentions some kind of ISO standard in their promo material.

battery size?

Can I use the regular fountain pen ink? I use my fineliners for general writing and have at least two bottles of fountain pen ink (Pelikan 4001) just laying around. As much as i love my fountain pens, I prefer to carry around a fineliner. So, I was just wondering if I can use that ink instead?

Yeah the moment you mentioned the freedom of drawing without your hand being in the way, im confident now in a tablet without a screen.

I like all pens. Some of the rollerballs are better than others like with anything.

love this review lol.

Ngl it makes me so stressed knowing tht if i don't use a archival pen/material for my drawings they'll jst fade eventually 😭ugh

Thanks for sharing such details I was just about to order them online.

Some of the disposable ones are easy to refill with india ink. So far I have only tried Microns, Faber Castell, and Zebra fude.

Thanks! For the jokes, too....

I think its much easier and fast to create original art on paper, however when it comes to anything that "just has to be done" like coloring or perfecting the lines of the logo - digital is a way to go. But for me it always start on paper.

I didn't know how much I needed a video like this! Thank you sir.

So it is not possible, I'm planning to do the same - thank for your video. I broke my rotring .2mm and I still have couple of inks, don't know what to do with it now.

I'm very new to the world of Jinhaos and I love their giant 9019. I wanna get the 9053 but compared to the 9019 ($3.50 US for us) is super cheaper compared to the 53. Same nib, same size just one is made of wood and there are versions with a brass cap. Unexpectedly smooth writer too!

Underrated.

So useful and so funny! It's my first time trying out this type of eraser and I'm quite excited since i have a problem with smudging ever since i started to use carbons. When you say you have the Faber Castell eraser since 2016, do you mean that you've always bought the same model, or that you literally used the one in the video? In such case I'm surprised that it lasts so long

Moleskine items are designed in Italy with most of them being printed, stitched and assembled in China.

be careful not grinding/polishing too much, the life of a fountain pen is on the tip of the nib. if the tipping material gone it won't be smooth ever again unless you change the nib or retip it. if your pen feels scratchy, make sure to inspect it first like the video before you do any grinding/polishing, it could be something else like misaligned nib.

I also love this pen. The only problem was with the (pocket) clip which became loose after very few uses. The nib can dry out if not used for a while, but even the fine writes smoothly with a minimal amount of feedback.
