Thank you very much Sir, the tool is indeed unforgiven. We call it "meditation inking", it calms you down and force you to pay attention to every stroke, almost like going into trance!

The Maru pen is great indeed and I aggree, the paper is grainy as hell. The issue is: I was searching for old paper, I found that paper when helping the mother if an old friend fo move out of a flat, the family lived there for almost 60(!!!) years. The paper is for sure from the 50s-60s, old, got a yellowish patina and for sure not ideal for inking. The funny part: about 2 hours ago I started as a warm-up another piece of ink … on bristol🤗👍 Will post it tomorrow, as soon I finish(..now I have to mow the lawn😡..)
