Kiri - Same, Pilot Iroshizuku

[visvamitra]

Hi, I'd like to present you another review that I've made for polish fountain pen forum - that's why the text is not written in english. I'd love to prepare new scans (in english this time) but I don't have time. Anyway, I hope at least some of you will find it useful even tough you won't - probably - understand the text as polish is not the most popular language to learn

I'm not really into grey inks. To be honest black and grey are my least favourite colors. Some greys, especially the complex ones can look interesting though. One of these is Kiri - Same·I won't buy a bottle because there's just no chance I'll ever use grey ink on every day basis, however it's interesting for a grey

Strange and interesting. Thanks for the great photos. It does seem to be a useful drawing ink. Good work. Thanks

Nice review. Don't worry about the language. I think of it as Loren Ipsum. We can then concentrate on aspects of the review,ie, color, shading, etc rather than getting wrapped around the axle with words. To paraphrase MLK Jr, we can judge your review by the color of the ink and not the content of your words

Kiri-same is one of my favorite inks. In a medium wetness pen, it can look a lot like pencil on the page. It washes a pretty subdued mauve for sketches.
