Drawing and daydreaming
Can you tell just how much I love this unassuming little blue pen? I’ve inked it with Pilot Namiki Black (my fav black), Monteverde Black Ash (fav back up black), Diamine Warm Brown, Diamine Eclipse (another fav) Diamine Twilight, and Monteverde Joy Sepia (possibly my favourite warm, energetic brown shade of any ink.
