    Today we take a close look at the Faber-Castell TG1-S Technical pen. I am a big fan of drawing pens, they lay down ink in a way that really satisfies me, but they do have a propensity for being ornery and troublesome. After this 0.35 was sent to me by a viewer, I had to try it out and see if it performed as well as the Rotring Isographs that I've been a fan of for so long.

    I gotta say, man, this video makes me really happy. Your old apartment was pretty stuffy looking and the only time I saw you outside was if you went outside specifically for a video. It's great to see you upgrade, sit in natural light and hang outside in your nice, chill, little chair on your cozy porch. 10/10 would watch again.

    I was a pen & ink artist for years. I went door to door for house portraits with my portfolio and business card. I began doing large scale pen & inks of barns and derelict buildings with a Kohinoor tech pen on a roll of Permagenata parchment (doesn't come in rolls anymore, if anyone knows where I can find it let me know), but I would file a bevel edge around the barrel at the tip with crocus clothe, so the ink would penetrate the paper, rather than leave a glossy blob. Like a drypoint etching. Learned this from an artist named David Schofield,. and his pen and inks of NYC

    Protip: You can clean these pens using a $20-30 ultrasonic cleaner and they work like new. Mechanics use ultra-sonic cleaners to clean heavy coats of oil from machine parts. It may take 3-4 passes in the machine to get the pistons working, but once they move again, they work like new! I've done this with cheap bunches of used Koh-I-Noor and Staedtler Marsmatic pens from Ebay.

    I am in the same boat as you when it comes to studio design classes for architecture, it’s my favorite part to spend time there and actually be able to get out of my house. Now there's only 3 kids in the class and I already took off 4 years and I was doing so well and so excited to return and the first year went so well, I got my associates degree, dean's list etc., but as soon as covid/started my bachelors my grades went down and I haven't been the same happy, proud person I was when I started. You are so blessed to have this to fall back on, I’m so scared of continuing to fail and be a drop out again and go back to where I was 4 years ago. I feel as though all of my growth has been erased, it took so much courage to finally tell myself I can do something for the rest of my life. I don't feel like myself anymore, I don't want to let my parents down, I can’t keep waiting to go back to school they need to get a break from me and this was my chance to show them I can do it. All in all I just can’t decide if it’s the right thing to do or what to do rather. Nothing is aligning and I feel as though I am not the only one this has happened to, but that doesn't make me feel better knowing I’m not alone it almost makes me feel even more helpless. The biggest issue while at school is that I’m paying for an apartment to attend the studio classes, so I can bounce ideas off of the professor while the other 2 kids just commute to the school (I live 2 hours away), but all the other classes are online! I am draining my reserves for one class and I live alone in this apartment and only see people one day a week, while every other day I stay inside and lay in my bed and continue to be bogged down by the lack of commitment I can prescribe to my online classes (do no work/"do it later" later comes... still not done... get more sad... do less work... stress increases... suicide conjures... will to live depleting... nothing is happening... nothing can change...)

  • @DestroyerOfWords
    @DestroyerOfWords 4 роки тому +1

    Nice digs Peter! These pens used to be the standard of drafting, called Rapidographs. Got about 20 of 'em, they come in lots of sizes. The nib is hollow with a thin metal wire inside that is attached to the metal weight you like to jiggle. That's the self cleaning method. The jewel at the tip ensures no scratching up the paper. When you shake it the wire unfouls the gunk that builds up inside the nib. It is necessary when using india ink, which is thicker and very dark (it comes in lots of colors, but if you want black-black, that's it). Never use India ink in a fountain pen, or you'll never get it out. Faber Castel also provides great cleaning solutions.
    I used Rapidographs in drafting for several years, until AUTOCAD replaced all that.
    Since Rapidographs can handle thicker inks, you can also use them on a variety of shimmer and metalic inks that don't play well, even with dip pens.

    Thank you for keeping us updated about everything, Peter. It’s almost ridiculous how I need to know how you’re doing and what you’re up to now. First time in my life I have this feeling for someone who doesn’t know me. I guess that’s what people who call themselves “fans” feel about their idols... I don’t know. I’m just happy you tell us what’s going on with your life. Thanks again. Enjoy your vacation!

    I’m a senior in college right now. It sucked really bad for a couple of months. Its pretty normal to me now doing mostly zoom classes. I’m done with all of my studio class now, so I don’t have to deal with that. I can imagine it being pretty depressing. I’m glad you’re back!

    Omg the state of your poor Rotring! 😱🥺 Having flashbacks to being studio junior in the 80s where it was my weekly job to clean *everyone’s* Rotring pens. Dismantling each one into its constituent parts (except the 0.1mm because it’s finer than a hair and would bend and be forever ruined. Don’t ask how I found that out.). Then flushing through with water, then Rotring cleaner, then water (there were many rinses and repeatings), then drying, refilling, reassembling.
    Each person’s set had to be kept separate. The pens were in use almost continuously so every art worker used a rapidomat stand with a sponge at its base that the uncapped pens stood in with the tip resting on the sponge which had to be kept damp to be effective (to prevent ink drying). Had to clean and refill all those too. There were 5 of us on the boards, each with a minimum of 5 pens.
    The Faber Castells were around but it was like being a PC or a Mac user, each group swore by their brand, but as far as I could work out, it was mostly a matter of which you had been introduced to first.
    Please clean your pen(s)! The process is quite zen when you get into it. And you’ll be rewarded with years of reliable inking.🙏🏼😘

    Nice move Peter, my grandfather got one of his eardrums eaten by a cockroach while he was a kid. He was watching tv, lying on the floor, the cockroach crawled inside. He went to the physician and got it out, but the thing had already eaten a considerable part of his listening capability.

    You don’t look boring, it accentuates your amazing, big, expressive eyes. You don’t really look alike, but your eyes have that intensity that Hugh Laurie’s have. I really like to look at your face. Is that a weird thing to say? I dunno, it’s just a thing that is.

    The situation you are going through with school is something I can relate to sooo much. I am an engineering student so a lot of my classes require and benefit from in person lab time. With that all cut in half now and being online, I feel like I am being cheated. The feeling of not liking how everything is going to unfold was me my first week of classes. I just can't take a break even if I wanted too. I can only wish to do and have the freedom you do. It was just nice to hear someone else going through the same thing. Hope you find your groove!

    you should set up a shelf behind you with a plant, some sort of light, and interesting knick knacks on it, maybe stick some rgb led strips on the bottoms of the shelves, maybe a neon sign or just an led light-up sign on the wall. then get a lens with like an f/1.4 or something so the background is all blurry and boke-ful. that's what all the popular youtubers do.

    I'd suggest adding some warmth to the backdrop, considering it's a little bit of a cold visual otherwise. You could put a tall shelf between those two doors and fill it with interesting, colorful and wacky things. Maybe put a sconce style lamp in the middle of the wall above the shelf with a warm glow to it (or just set a nice lamp on the top shelf.) And put a standing lamp off to your left, our right, that'll light up that corner of the room with some warmth (the lamp doesn't have to be visible, just the light from it will help)
    • put some books on the shelf
    • some empty glass cola bottles
    • the boxes your favorite pens and pencils came in
    • some decorative pieces like a Himalayan salt lamp, a moon lamp, or something to that effect (for lighting and warmth)
    • You could hang a map of your favorite town on the back of that door to your left, or maybe one of your own drawrings
    • maybe showcase fan art on the shelf behind you
    • etc etc etc!
