Just saw the cover. Very nice. Fountain pen plus watercolor? What ink did you use?

 

I used Platinum Carbon Black ink and the ink drawings were colored using Pan Pastels, regular pastels and colored pencils!

I like using pastels as colors can be lightened or even changed after a lot of erasing BUT the pan pastels must be very high pigment as they were not as forgiving. I would not use then again for published work. Sometimes an editor/art director will want a color lightened so it will print better--the pan pastel really stained the paper in some spreads where I tried to lighten the color--regular Rembrant pastels are easier to change.

 

 

Over 200 entries--good luck everyone!!

No just a beautiful steel Edison nib BUT you can always get Brian to make you a flex and send it to you --for a fee of course--that is not included in the prize!! One of my favorite flex nibs is from Brian.

Do they scan the artwork for printing? They can do the lightening on Photoshop.

Just heard about this drawing over at Inkophile's Blog. Sent an email and have crossed my fingers -- makes it hard to type.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
