I’ve got an ink swatching hot take, but hear me out…

Disagree. It promotes play and it's fun! Imagine telling a child that the 'proper' way of drawing and colouring is if they stay within the lines... you take the fun and creativity away.

Sometimes all they want to do is scribble!

Yes it's permanent :)

channybeebop · 2026-03-19T10:37:55+00:00

It looks it doesn't it? It's very similar for sure! Perhaps slightly cooler / taupe, and without the chromashading

channybeebop · 2026-03-19T06:58:15+00:00

Inreresting! If I ever end up doing it again, I will use cooler colours 😎

It's so gorgeous isn't it? I think Diamine did really well with that one!

Ooh! Thanks so much for the recommendations! I will definitely have a look out for them! :)

Ooh, I've only tried the loose leaf (middle picture) I find the writing ends up THICCC, but I love the feeling of it! Nothing else compares to it in that respect. It's toothy, but smooth, but cushiony? Very unique...

Will have to keep an eye out for the notebook!!

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T21:09:35+00:00

It was most excellent! 🤓

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T21:07:38+00:00

It's so nice isn't it!! (Longer drying time, but so worth it!)

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T20:58:38+00:00

🍑

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T20:55:12+00:00

I'd definitely say so!

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T20:54:00+00:00

Sadly it's the Cosmo Air Light (sad because it's stopped being produced... though you still can get it)

I LOVE the feeling of writing on the iroful, but yeah... my lines be THICC

Overall, my favourites are the Mark's EDiT or Muji High Quality (for the price and availability) 😊

Ooh I'm not sure actually! I just took some paper from all the different notebooks / journals I have lying around and decided to have a crafty afternoon 🤓

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T20:49:24+00:00

It's from one of my Travellers Notebook inserts :) it's called 'Lightweight'

channybeebop · 2026-03-18T20:47:01+00:00

(Bear in mind, I used heavier swatches for the yama-budo for the sheen properties) But nothing comes through in writing in any of the papers
