That looks like a nice pen. The drawing started out looking like a fractal design and then it quickly changed over to a muscular fly creature. Nice work! 👍🏻
Great review and sketch. I like my C1's, I actually own two of them (Red and Blue). They are pretty good pens, agree with you wet writers, this ads caracter to cool inks.
Pen looks lovely, if only the red one isn't that bright (scarlet?) I would get all of them :D Btw, have you seen hongdian's new ink bottle? It looks like a crystal and more perfume bottle take on the waterman bottles, truly beautiful to hold and look when one has it in their hands.
I'm not sure if that red is on the bright side - might depend a lot on how the pictures were taken? Unless you had the chance to hold one and see it in person. To my eyes the red seems to be more on the darker side - but I could be wrong. I'm only looking at pictures as well :). I did see they have 2 other bottles. The crystal type but they also have the one with a pen rest integrated - like Herbin ones - interesting :). Did you got a chance to get them?
@@eugenborcan the pen rest one I did not get. I don't really need/want it at this moment in time? But yes, truly amazing that we are able to get these fancy bottles and pens for a fraction of the cost if we had gotten it from the big brands. Truly the fountain pen golden age.
