A Very Pretty Pen: The Moonman C1 -- Pen Review

[@peter_draws]

I know there have been a lot of pen review videos and not as many drawing videos lately, but it's just because these don't take nearly as long to make, and I've been more busy with school than I'm used to. Anyways, not excuses, just explanations, I've got more drawing videos in the works. Have a good day everyone :)

I had to restrain myself from ordering a Moonman during this video. I’ve been eying a pretty little pocket version! Love watching drawings ooze out of those pens.

[@amanwearingsuspenders7390]

I aspire to be a comic book artist and as I was searching for vids I found your channel and your unique personality, as well as your skill, drew me in. Long story short I am religiously watching all your vids, which are very motivating and soothing.

[@physicscommando9037]

I literally received my Moonman C1 yesterday. The only logical, rational explanation is that I have a psychic connection to Peter. I actually really like the C1 and recommend it highly, though I do wish it had a clip. The grip section of mine is a mix of red and blue (I think the same as the one shown in the video, though there is another color variation) so I filled mine with Organics Studio "Nitrogen" ink, which is a deep blue with a red sheen which I thought was perfect choice. It's a finicky ink, but so far so good!

Yeah Peter I'm a musician, guitar is my specialty. I can't draw very well AT ALL. I mean I'm horrible. But like you said near the end, I just like listening to you talk over video of your drawings. 99% of the things you say about the visual arts can also be said for music too. You're just a lovable guy with very little ego compared to most KZbinrs. Cheers Peter. Don't stop doing what you love doing, it gives other artist like myself (with a tad too much cynicism) something to lean on.

[@redtidalwave3377]

Hi Peter! My name is Rob and I am a big long time fan of yours.. Your art is quite unique to you and it's very good and quite interesting to look at for sure.. but the reason im writing this is to tell you that the little ball inside the fountain pen cartridge converter is to keep the ink flowing. The ball sort of breaks up any air pockets and surface tension that can hold your ink towards the top of the converter. They don't take up much space in there and you really don't lose any ink volume.. So they put them in some converters for that reason.. The mystery is solved! Thanks for the videos and please keep em' coming.. I can answer most fountain pen questions for you and also if you have any questions about inks and nibs as well.. It's been my hobby for many years now.. I'm currently watching your Moonman C1 review.. I like hearing your take on fountain pens.. I get a kick out of listening to you describe the pens.. It's nice to see the younger generation interested in things that I would assume most people of that generation would not be so curious about.. Keep up the good work Peter!

[@ArtistWizardry]

Ahh, Emerald of Chivor, another of my favorite inks. With the added shimmery stuff and how you have pens sit unused for a long time, expect to have to clean the feed on this pen. :/ it's to be expected with any shimmer type inks. Chivor is completely gorgeous due to the the combo of shimmer and its sheen. Most inks are either one or the other. Oh, inorder to see the inks' full glory, you will need to start using the appropriate papers. Rhodia, Clairfontaine, Tomoe River, Leuchttrum19, etc. I highly recommend playing with this ink on paper that's made to let it truly show itself on...it wouldn't dry quickly, just a reminder. Gahhh! No shaking the ink from within the pen or shaking bottles..bubbles can cause it to clog. You may gently tilt to move ink from side to side. And yeah, easy on any nibs, they can damage easy.

I bought this pen on almost a whim a week ago. I’m so glad I did. It’s a solid, splendid looking pen. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about the C1. The aesthetics and performance of the pen are just WOW!!! I have it filled with the stunning Diamine Blood Orange ink, and the F nib is a miraculously wet, smooth writer that looks like a borderline Medium rather than a Chinese default Fine. I like the C1 even more than I do the C2 and M2 by Moonman. It’s a worthy companion and sibling to my beloved clear demonstrator Opus 88.

Hey peter, to pick up more with the dropper, squeeze it to pull in the first bit then squeeze it out while keeping the dropper in the ink until you see air leave. Usually takes 2 or 3 squeezes to get the max but itll be more than one squeeze worth.
