I had to buy this exact pen back when I was in university for my Typography class and it is pretty cool! The kind of paper you use is so important for a good end result, since these are super juicy and will bleed 9 times out of 10, it definitely can't have too much texture (unless that's the look the artist is looking for). I think my preferred paper was this "cheaper" draft blocks, the Canson's Sketch ones, that I loved using despite being thiner. The price for this pen hurt my soul and my student wallet though 😅 They could have at least included a full set of colour cartridges or a normal dip calligraphy pen to go with the orange ink! Despite everything your end result ended up pretty cool!! Loved the mouse, so cute 😊

Oooh typography class sounds amazing!! Honestly I think the size of this nib is what's put me off a bit, I don't anticipate me really doing any writing at this scale 😅 I got a glass dip pen in a box a few months ago and I LOVE IT! The orange ink will definitely be used in my collection 😍 Totally agree with you about the paper. Appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching 😊♥️

I loved your maze and little mouse, and it turned out lovely even though you weren't totally comfortable with the supplies. The colours are really lovely, and I agree that the gradient effect is very cool! The bit at the end with Eko made me lol.

Hmmm, I just cancelled my Muse box subscription to give Upcrate a go. Have I made a mistake? I guess time will tell. I appreciated being able to watch you try out supplies that you weren’t familiar with. That’s why I wanted an art box subscription- to be exposed to techniques and materials I haven’t tried before. Could you use the pipette to get the orange ink out of the bottle?

Upcrate has definitely been more hit than miss, what I love about it is that I get things that I've NEVER tried before! This one wasn't for me 😅 but that's actually a good idea about the pipette, I think that would actually work really well and I wish if thought of that at the time hahaha thanks for watching and for your feedback ☺️

The pipette is actually for cleaning the pen nib. You submerge it in the water and then use the pipette connected to the nib to move the water up and down and get rid of the ink traces. Pretty cool😅

This was a weird box endeed, have watched some videos and most complain. The clips especially seem to be a peculiar extra, since it is a spiral bound sketch book. I have heard a lot of good things about the pen itself though, lately a lot of urban sketchers have recommended it because of the various lines it makes and what I;ve seen it works perfectly for that purpose (maybe the clips were added in thought of windy weathers of urban sketchers?)

Oh I hadn't thought of that! I'm a portrait artist so maybe I should use it to make buildings in the background 😄 thank you for watching ❤️
