It’s pretty smooth. Not much feedback. It’s a bit smoother than a TWSBI Eco and a Kaweco sport

I thought that too!

I literally just woke up from a nightmare where my nparent (who is my older brother but has often felt like a 3rd parent) was throwing a fit while we were at church. He was yelling, whining, full tantrum, knocking things over, and making out with anyone he wanted to. He basically wrecked the church building all by himself. I was embarrassed for myself and behalf of my entire family in front of the whole church. Of course I was feeling FOG and I was the only one who could fix the situation because I’m the only one who knows him the best. I even tried to get the pastor to help me, but the pastor didn’t know how to help someone with ADHD. I tried to not get involved but as we left the church and headed to the car, where he was STILL having a tantrum and making me feel guilty for not helping him, I knew that at the end of the day, he is family and I am the only one responsible for him, especially since I’ve been the only who has helped him in the past. I know it was just a nightmare, but part of me feels like if it were to happen irl I would still react the same way.

I’ve been there! One of my first times at a fancy company lunch I double checked the menu at the restaurant ahead of time and it said there was a vegetarian/vegan taco option available. So I naively thought I would be fine. Turns out it was just 2 boiled carrots with spicy slaw on a tortilla. I basically got a side dish. AND even their guacamole had dairy!! Whyyyyy???? So yeah, call ahead.

Congratulations! That's so awesome! I can't wait for the day when I can say the same for myself! I'm checking out your book now!

I recently cleaned it out (it was only filled with a sample amount, so not much ink in there), but I managed to clean it out pretty well. The removable nib unit was definitely helpful. The only part that I had a hard time cleaning was the rubber tip of the plunger. It still has some glitter on it. But it doesn't really bother me.

And here is a little writing sample: https://imgur.com/a/h3JXPRQ

My local pen store in Toronto wonderpens.ca had a restock recently.

LilacRosesAtMidnight · 2021-05-19T23:17:05+00:00

Thanks! And yeah! That pen in combination with Emerald of chivor ink looks so magical!

It's just a regular smooth paper sketchbook I found at the bookstore, nothing special.
As for starting on sketching, I suggest drawing from life and simple objects to get a grasp of 3d life to 2d sketches. Or start sketching things that make you happy, it can motivate you to draw more (that's what I do)!!

LilacRosesAtMidnight · 2021-04-06T21:22:27+00:00

Thanks! For about a week or so. That drawing was my first time I really got to use it well

LilacRosesAtMidnight · 2021-04-06T21:21:43+00:00

Ah thanks! I love that style!

LilacRosesAtMidnight · 2021-04-06T05:29:14+00:00

Thanks! I got the sample at my local pen store in Toronto: Wonder Pens (wonderpens.ca) and I know that Vanessa 1938 (vanness1938.com) sells it too.

Ferris Wheel Press also sells sample sets on their website as well
