1. The Jinhao 82 is a nice pen I enjoy using, but I find its body less substantial-feeling than the PGS. 2. I particularly like the Good Blue L130 with a Zoom nib. Even better than my Sailor Zoom, and they INVENTED that nib.
One of my favorite pens is the Jinhao 92, which is metal and feels just right in my hand. It is an improved version of the Graph von Faber-Castell "Bently" collection. I claim the "improved" designation because of the elongated grip section, which is an improvement over the many short, almost non existant, grip sections on many F-C pens. I've only seen this pen reviewed a couple of times by small-time You Tubers. Hint Stephen!
“Di Atrementis!” has always sounded like something Harry Potter would say to activate wand, which is why *I say “oh look, Harry Potter ink!” every time I see it. I really like the Conklin, the lines you get from the Waverley nib, and the Urban Grey.
Stephen, I appreciate your videos, you seem like a very genuine and caring person. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Do you by chance do any commission work? I saw one of your videos a while back and you had done a cat drawing, I think he was 80s style... I'd love to have one. Just wondering if you ever sell your work? Thanks for your time!
Hello, I have done commissions and things in the past, but not very consistently since there isn’t a ton of demand. Most of the drawings I do are in a sketchbook on kind of cheap paper. If you’re serious about setting something up, you can email me at stephen@stephenink.com. We can try to figure something out. There are also links to contact me on my website, stepheninks.com.

I also like The Good Blue Zoom nib!

I’ll need to check both of those pens out. I’m not familiar with either of them. Thanks for the recommends!
Loved the review and the drawing.
Thank you!

It is a magical ink :)
A very nice video , good drawing
Thanks!
It appears we have the same tastes as I have all those pens too, except the PenBBS. Just different colours. They are all in rotation.
Game recognizes game.

so what pencils/eraser you using for the drafts?
I have a Faber Castell kneaded eraser and for the pencils, I just tend to use whatever is lying around. Usually it’s a number 2 HB lead.
Hi Stephen, is there an email that I can get in touch with you? Thanks!
