Wearingeul - Miguel de Cervantes - Don Quixote

[Yazeh]

I had the chance to do a blind test of this ink thanks to @junglejim and @DrPenfection. Thanks!

On Tomoe River Paper.

This is my first Wearingeul ink.

Ink is extremely dry and flow rate is questionable. This ink is for anyone who loves pale inks, uses wet pens with soft nib (ideally broad), uses thick absorbent paper, or admires Don Quixote, fighting windmills, or enjoys writing letters to people you want to annoy with the finest nib possible ;)

However, check the beautiful chroma

To show case the colour, this is how it looks as a colouring ink on the wings of this angel drawing I did...

Are you trying to say something here? :D

Great review, @Yazeh (a.k.a. Speedy Gonzales)! Have no fear, I'll catch up with you in a couple months. :P I especially like the little windmill. And your chroma is still the best - that's some seriously good paper towel you've got. :pound:

When I write notes with faded inks, it strains my eyes. I thought to add a bit of humour, would be fun :D

Thanks, you're too kind. And that's special chroma paper towel ;)
