After I saw you using a sailor fude pen a couple of years ago I asked for one as a Christmas present. It is a brilliant tool, I love it and it works just as you say. Thank you Koosje once again for brightening we artists' day❤

What a great Christmas present!

"Fude" means brush in Japanese Koosje. It means the nib gives the variety of line like a brush due to the variety of pressure and the angles you can make the pen work on due to the bent nib. I love your videos. Thank you for all your inspiring videos and insights. Cheers, Muffy from Australia.

Loved all the techniques . One I'm wanting to try is the 'upside down' technique , have you ? Thanks for this series , can't wait to see what's next !🌞

[@KoosjeKoene]

Drawing from an upside down photo reference? Yes, that’s a great and fun exercise.

That looked fabulous! I've never tried the negative space technique before... I'll do exactly this now! I have this pen! With the cartridge that came with it - still on the first one though have a converter standing by. Think it's water soluble - let's find out! 😁 Thanks, Koosje!

[@KoosjeKoene]

How did it turn out?

[@annipetratos9401]

Enjoyed following you through this challenge so much. 2 or 3 things to try..the soluble ink, the negative space technique. You make learning such a delight, thankyou🤍

[@KoosjeKoene]

Awesome! Thank you!

This was a fun challenge! I drew a small turtle figurine each day. I took it further by making the picture out if cubes one day. (I was aiming for cubism but it looks more like minecraft!) Then, to finish, I drew a melted turtle!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Oh wow, such great ideas !

[@tasticola]

Koosje this has been a great series! I'm thinking that I may have made a mistake when I bought my fountain pen as I decided on the Lamy Safari. It's lovely but I'm unsure if I think that the ink flows evenly. Do you have the lamy aswell as the Sailor? Again, thank you for this series x Nell.

[@KoosjeKoene]

I have more than one Lamy and prefer a nib B. The ink flows well in all of them.

[@tasticola]

What's a nib B please @Koosje?
