    Thank you! Glad you like em. The yellow pen is a Pelikan demonstrator with a custom-ground M400 nib, it is a needlepoint nib with a line weight of about .1 mm. The other pen is one of my vintage Montblanc 136s. It has one of the nicest nibs ever! A rare palladium nib in extra fine with tons of flex to it. It also retains all of its original gold "plating." I have seen a lot of the palladium nibs missing the gold masking, which was created by heating the nib to turn the palladium a gold tone. Lately these two pens have become my go-to pens for drawing. I also frequently use a Pelikan 400NN and M805 demo.

    I draw zentangles. Lately I've been using Spirograph with fountain pens. It's a bit of trial and error. But with all the ink colors the designs can pop.

    Here's something I stumbled on when preparing to do a new sketch.





    I wanted to replace the ink in my manga pen with the closest match. It had some of the original black manga ink, but I diluted it with Noodler's Navaho Turquoise. It was the most difficult ink to clean out of a pen ever, but I think in the end I went ahead and mixed Navaho Turquoise with some sorta black. Maybe Perle Noire.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!
