I just ran into your You-tube channel. I use all different colors for work - including yellows. I almost always use yellow and lighter colors in wider nibs, not a fine nib.
Thank you for watching! The yellows are growing on me!
Great video, thanks.
Thank you so much! :)
I love the Diamine Violet that I purchased from you a while ago. It's a beautiful shade of purple. Thank you for your review.
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm starting to LOVE those purples!
Agree, Diamine inks are excellent.
Those three pens filled with matching inks are beautiful together, a joy for the eyes!
The very first ink I've bought was a parker quink blue black, and i still love it. I like shin-kai but i mix it with a drop of take-sumi (black) and that makes it so deep and beautiful.
Subscribed! I can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed already.
My favorite Iroshizuku blue is Asa-gao, but Shin-Kai is nice too.
Great and fun video. Thank you. I love diamine bilberry for purple and fwp beaver dam for brown. Love private reserve ebony brown. It is dark and rich. Thank you!
Thank you :) makes a bit of a change... I love those inks too!!
I love that purple. Generally, i prefer greens and backs.
Maybe I’ll do greens next!!
my favourite inks are made by Diamine, Montblanc and Aurora: have small handwriting and these inks put down a fine line which doesn’t spread out which matters most to me; find the Iroshizuku inks to be inconsistent: love the colour palette but not all of them stay put but shin-kai does as does shin-ryoku, syo-ro’s quite well behaved too as is blue/black and red from their regular inks; majestic purple is a lighter purple than I like, prefer Diamine iris and Montblanc ultramarine; the Ferris Wheel Press ink reminds me of J Herbin’s ambre de Birmanie which thankfully also dries darker than it goes down; thanks for this:)
Thank you for your wonderful and detailed comments.
Like the purple, then blue, I think the ferris wheel would display its color character better with a broader point putting down a heavier line of ink.
I think you are right!!
Thanks for demonstrating a Ferris Wheel Press ink. It's a brand I've heard of, but never tried as pastels aren't my thing either. And a poor experience with Platinums yellow ink. (I can't see it 🤣).
I tend to use Diamine the most, Writers Blood and Ancient Copper seem to be the ones I gravitate to. They are dark but colourful, saturated and work appropriate.
But I use mainly grey inks for daily writing: Earl Grey, Little Matty (on the very dark side of grey), Moon Dust (a shimmer) and Ash all from Diamine and Iroshizuku's Kiri-same; Iroshizuku bottles look fab on a desk.
I have Diamine's Royal Blue ink, but it reminds me of school. I think I prefer a bright cyan type of blue such as Watermans Inspired Blue, Platinum's Aqua or Pelikan Edelstein Topaz.
If you are a fan of Brown's, then I really like Organic Studios Boron Brown and Pelikan Edelstein Smoky Quartz.
Another great video. Thank you. 👍
Thanks for your super in-depth comment I’m sure folks will find useful! And reminding me of school :( in fact funny. That’s why I stay away from some blues also!!
@@KnightsWritingCompany I must learn to keep my sentences short and sweet. 😆
@@sturdy_stitches no! Your thoughts are superb. Thanks for sharing.
My go to are blue-black and brown or green inks. The only light colour I ended up liking a lot is the very neon green-yellow Hotaru bi. It stands out so much that it is almost out of this world. I love the FWP Writing Desk (brown with lots of variation) and Edwards Gardens (a very nice shaded dark green). I also like all Iroshizuku violet shades but find them quite staining (be careful with light coloured pens!). My go to brand probably is run of the mill Parker Quink. Affordable and widely available in a pinch. I don't have to be sad if I use up a bottle. And not staining. It washes off and out of anything.
Lovely comments. Many thanks for sharing. Particularly about Parker ink. There are so many lovely inks out there, but the best are the most accessible and the simplest in my opinion.
Myself, right now, am mainly a Purple, Blue, Red, or Black ink sort of person, nothing too unusual. Darker greens could also work for me. This is mainly because of my usage, mostly for work and journaling where I need to be able to easily read.
Great reply. Thank you. I’m loving Diamine green-black right now, but haven’t got it on the site yet :(
