I love that you write with both hands!

[@drawinsscribblins5326]

Hi, Jessica. Thank you for watching. I was obsessed learning to write with both as a kid. It’s been helpful

I love your variety of pens. The Two Dunas look like 2 completely different pens - love how that worked out for you!

[@drawinsscribblins5326]

Hi, Anita. Thank you! I’ve been enjoying the Dunas. Not quite the right inks in them yet though.

@@drawinsscribblins5326 Hope you find the right one soon. I feel the same way.

You reminded me of how much I loved my old Pilot Plumix with a calligraphy nib, but I haven't seen it in years. I might have to keep an eye out for another one.

[@drawinsscribblins5326]

Hi, Peter. The Plumix wasn’t even on my radar. I got mine free at the Baltimore Pen Show. It is kind of goofy looking but that nib is something.

Hi, Peggy. Thank you for the support and kind words as always. I appreciate you!

Interesting that you would take a smooth nib and make it less smooth. Never considered a nib could be too smooth

[@drawinsscribblins5326]

Hi, Steve. I know it sounds weird. It happens rarely but it that feeling like you are writing in glass that I don’t like. It’s like writing on an iPad without a screen protector. It just needs one quick pass on the fine grit sandpaper. I’ve only had to do it with one other nib. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Hi, Pickwick. Thank you for watching!

Hello!😊 I am curious - how did you fill in your ink swatches? It is beautiful, the effect the inks have on the page! I love your videos!

[@drawinsscribblins5326]

Hi, Teresa. I used a circle template then just used the pens to color in half of the circle. To test the water fastness, I wetted a cotton swab for the other half. I like doing this b/c it allows me to doodle and I think it shows how the ink behaves in each pen.

@drawinsscribblins5326 thank you for getting back to me! :) I think I will try this! BTW, I am a big fan of yours! I admire how well you write with both hands! I am a lefty. Did you always write smoothly with both hands?
