I'm no artist (biologist in fact), but I had an ink swab on paper that looked a bit "fishy" so I got a bit creative with my q-tip. All done with Diamine Eau De Nil, a cotton swab and Noodler's Konrad for the fins. I love the color variations in Eau De Nil, truly one of my favorite blues. I've never attempted to paint or draw with fountain pens or ink, so it was a first for me!

It's a lovely way to show off the ink.

What do you mean - you're no artist? That delightful drawing says otherwise.

I had a Naso Tang named Musashi once. Your drawing reminded me of him, very nice!
