    Thank you. It is IG ink made by a very small manufacture in germany: https://www.kalligraphie-shop.com/ep...roducts/32000T

    the cool thing is, that the ink is washable for a short time before it gets 100% waterproof. So you can pre-draw with ink, then wash out with brush and diluted ink, and then continue to work, again and again, until the result is satisfactory.

    the second cool thing is, that the ink becomes almost black after a couple of days. I like black.
    Neat. This reminds me of this one:

    But unlike yours the blue turns into black almost immediately and into a very shiny black if you use a quill

    I wonder if DeAtramentis makes that ink for them. It's the same bottle, and DeAtramentis does custom runs, like this "Wiesbadener Quellentinte" for a shop in Wiesbaden.

    Interesting though to my knowledge De Atramentis doesn't do IG inks. Their speciality is pigment inks.

    No they don't. I know for a fact that Thomas Bergmann produces this ink himself. I know him.

    ...but honestly, we should move this discussion to another thread. This is about drawing.

    Thanks. I’ve been looking for an iron gall similar to old versions, but was hoping this was made by a company I’m familiar with and trust.

    My apologies @christof

    Essri is one of the best.
    Drier is Registrars.
    In between there is Akkernan's.
    Very expensive and difficult to find is Bible ink. Pale and dry, you've got the brown Gutenberg Urkundentinten G10.
    You've got the wet KWZ blue black.
    The rest are faux IGs That includes Stipula and R&K, i.e. not truly water resistant.
    Pelikan Blue black is also supposedly IG.

    #48, Star,

    It seems that nobody is going with "a self-luminous gaseous spheroidal celestial body of great mass which produces energy by means of nuclear fusion reactions" [Merriam Webster].

    Well, neither am I. I used a couple of Staedtler drawing pens and a Pentel brush pen for this. I find the brush pen darn near impossible to control. Practice, practice, practice.

    I realized that if I wait to make the perfect sketch, I would never do it.

    So without fair ado, imperfect, Gobblin and (shooting) Star...

    I know what you mean, although I haven't made the same effort to do them all. But some of the prompts suggest ideas that interest me.

    I had an idea for "graffiti" that I may still want to try sometime. But when I started a preliminary pencil sketch I realized that it was going to get far more complicated than I had patience for just then. So I went off in a totally different direction and did this, which may strictly speaking have less to do with graffiti. In my mind, though, there was a connection.

    waranoid

    The pen I used is my oldest fountain pen, a Waterman's 12 PSF from (I believe) the World War I era. I thought it gave this effort a suitably antique air, although when it was made, Edward FitzGerald had been dead for some 30 years, and Omar Khayyam for around 8 centuries.

    I vaguely recall seeing an edition of The Rubaiyat that had literal English translations beside FitzGerald's poetic ones. But literal translations typically don't work that well as poetry.
