ENewton,
I don't think it's an either/or but the combination that delights me!
This is from one of my sixth grade students, combining G-Von-F-C Olive and Scabiosa - my definition of good taste!:

- and from me, same Violet but this time it's Diamine Classic Green and Akkerman Steen Rood

Very nice work from a sixth grader.  Does form drawing always have to be on white paper?  To my eye, the same ink combination would be even more elegant on the color paper you used for your diagram.  What paper is that, incidentally?

I am trying to find the right pen for Scabiosa and like the look of your circle here. May I ask what pen you used? (I am currently using an old Pilot with a soft F nib - it looks good with that pen and it's the best of my pens I have tried it in so far - but not as good as what I see in this pic...)

ENewton: I mostly have students work on Ivory colored cardstock from Office Staples World - ideal is to bind best work into a volume at the end of each year. Standard photocopy paper is useless for ink but inkjet or laser paper is functional for everyday notes (I have one of those long armed staplers so we can make our own notebooks). For myself I have started buying Japanese paper loose leaf, but I do use cardstock a lot.

PithyProlix: I have it in a Lamy CP1 (which is a nice 'pencil width' for using in compasses etc.) with a gold broad nib. The gold nib really makes a difference as it was a little dry previously. That pen and ink have been married since 2016! I don't write reams with it, but I do love it. I will be needing to pick up a third bottle of Scabiosa soon!

Oh, in that drawing it looks like I went over the lines with a brush and water afterwards to release the color a bit!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
