So far everything is going pretty well I\u2019d say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part my unread mail count is kept below 100. Sometimes it\u2019s a little over that. Then I do some culling\u2026 Hasn\u2019t gone above 200 yet. And definitely none of that few thousand unread mail nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Been doing some art every week. Even if it\u2019s a quick doodle. Other weeks I do a lot more art, like yesterday. I\u2019ve also been trying out my new art supplies. Still have more new art supplies to try\u2026 But I\u2019m doing more art and using my supplies so I call that a win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can\u2019t say I\u2019ve stuck very well to my low buy though. I bought new sumi inks (I tried them yesterday, at least!). Just ordered stuff from Jackson\u2019s yet again\u2026 And I still have all that stuff that I bought end of last year that I\u2019ve not tried. Like the blue pine arts stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do have been using my khadi fat book lots and I\u2019m loving it. It does have that weird behavior sometimes but\u2026 Over all it\u2019s very fun to swatch and paint in there. Definitely will buy more when I run out. Making good progress towards finishing it as well, though admittedly I have been using my watercolor paper blocks a lot since I\u2019m just using the khadi fat book\u2026 But I\u2019m sure I will finish that this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only real downside to the fat book is that it\u2019s too big\u2026 My table is just not quite wide enough to accommodate the sketchbook, even after I have packed my table and all. I do love the size of the sketchbook\u2026 It\u2019s just that I need more desk space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another sketchbook that I\u2019m hoping to finish this year is the Nerdforge sketchbook. I have another 4 of those brand new\u2026 Including a full set of the three notebooks\u2026 I\u2019ve found that the paper is really nice for marker or for doodling\u2026 And like I did so many doodles in the Sketches n Scrubs zoom session on it\u2026 Initially I just hoped to get as far as I can in it\u2026 But now\u2026 There\u2019s *some* hope that I could finish it this year. We\u2019ll see. Sometimes when I doodle a thing or two at night it\u2019s in that book too, because it\u2019s a hard cover sketchbook so I can easily use it in bed. Though yeah I am still not a fan of that paper overall, like it\u2019s not that great for color pencils, nor for watercolor. But it can handle alcohol markers ok (bleeds to the other side though), and it can handle water based markers just fine. Crayons and oil pastels are ok there too\u2026 So it\u2019s really depends on what you wanna do. I used the Tom\u2019s studio Lumos in it quite a bit and it works great there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm what else did I talk about previously? Reading wise. Meh. Not much progress. I\u2026 Ok no. Scrap that. There has been zero progress on that front. Yeah I read lots of web novels. Some scientific journals even. But the last book I finished was in Nov last year\u2026 So nope. Yeah. Gotta work on that this year\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing wise\u2026 I still haven\u2019t send out any pen pal letters. But I started writing again, did some journal scrapbooking, which I am proud of myself for doing that. It\u2019s a start. I also\u2026 Bought a second hand pen. My grail pen pretty much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE grail pen that I have wanted since I got into the fountain pen hobby really. The Visconti Homo Sapiens. I got it at a good price from a fellow fountain pen lover in the local buy and sell group\u2026 Yeah. It really writes nicely, and feels very nice in hand. The only thing though is that it\u2019s an EF\u2026 which is a tad too fine for me. Like I would probably have bought an F or M myself, but then hey, I wouldn\u2019t be getting such a good deal. I did go ahead and ground the nib a bit though, so now it writes more like an F nib than a EF, and is wetter too, and I love it a lot more now that it\u2019s wetter. I also pulled out the Visconti travelling inkwell to use with it, and it fits the pen like a glove. I got that travelling inkwell off Drop lonnnngg ago, shortly after I got into this hobby. It wasn\u2019t even called Drop then. And I ended up getting two out of it because the first one was short of defective, with a super loose cap for the top part holding the wick\u2026 And also the plastic part of it looks like it\u2019s already corroded with acetone or something\u2026 Definitely NOT ok for a US$100 product. So yeah they shipped me another one. Both are still usable though\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I found out to my great distress last week that the inkwell can get ridiculously hard to open if you cap it all the way\u2026 I turned and turned till my finger got a blister to no avail. Even got dad to help and nada. I finally found the rubber grippy thing and it finally worked. Still. So damn tight. Never gonna cap it all the way again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another recent purchase was these two Tom\u2019s studio lumos and the dip nib holder. Very pretty stuff indeed, and so far I\u2019m liking the Lumos. I put a brush tip and 1.0 tip in one, and the 0.5 and 0.2 tip in the other. I\u2019m feeling more on the 1.0 tip size now though, it\u2019s a great size for doodling. 0.5 is ok for doodling too, but for sure the 0.2 is for more detailed drawings so to speak. The quality of the pens is very good, though I did have trouble taking out the nib unit with the wick on the black lumos, and again I had to rely on that rubber grippy thing to help. Thankfully that worked immediately. And thank goodness I found that rubber grippy thing. Phew! Overall, I like the pens a lot. Haven\u2019t tried the oblique nib holder yet. But the Lumos duo is really well machined. It is a tad more trouble to open the cap with the screw cap though, and the cap is a bit small and unless you take the effort to screw it on the back every time, you sort of run the risk of losing the cap, especially if you are using it on the bed like me. And the half sized pen is rather small. Not for me if I were to do anything more than making a quick note\/label. You can turn it around and screw it on top of the other pen to make it full sized, but that just adds that few seconds more to the set up time\u2026 Which does irk me quite a bit\u2026 Especially since I don\u2019t like leaving my pens uncapped even if it\u2019s for just half a minute. So on that front, the cheap sakura fine liner or just about any other fine liner with the pull cap wins. The Lumos is great quality though and it\u2019s also refillable\u2026 Oh and you can use almost any ink you want in it, barring those with big pigment or shimmer particles. And no acrylic inks either of course. For me I have the sketchink lotte inside. I wish the ink was blacker\u2026 But otherwise it works really nicely. Eraser proof and waterproof. Like I did a wash on top pretty much as fast as I would (at my usual drawing pace) after doing the line work and it didn\u2019t budge one bit. So that is something that I really like about the sketchinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yes, back to the pens. I really like it. Wish there was a blue color option, and that the black also came with the gold bits in front like the green did. That would look so classy and cool and I would like it a lot better. I wonder if they would sell me just that front bit lol! Maybe wouldn\u2019t hurt to ask. My verdict? It\u2019s a really nice pen, and very good quality. I do think it\u2019s worth what you\u2019re paying for, and it is definitely a nice treat for yourself. But it still is very expensive compared to your typical fine liner. Sure it\u2019ll last a life time though. As a fountain pen user, I\u2019m ok with the price\u2026 (I mean, I just bought my second hand grail pen and that one pen even at the second hand price is like\u2026 more the price of buying 4 brand new lumos duo?). But if you are prone to losing your pens etc, then I guess you\u2019re better off sticking to the cheap disposable fine liners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you want a cheap pen that you can use whatever ink you want in it, the Kuretake karappo pens are just the thing for you. It\u2019s like the Lumo, but plastic and meant to be single use only. If you carefully pry open the back plastic cap you can refill it till the plastic cap wears off, but it\u2019s not meant to last a lifetime like the Lumos, and is also wayyyy cheaper. It comes in several different nib options too. I heard that Guitar also made similar pens. And of course I found similar but much cheaper options from Taobao\u2026 So yeah, check those out if you want the Lumos but not the price tag. Of course, if it\u2019s the whole environmental thing you are concerned about, those plastic dispoable alternatives will not be what you are after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been sharing my art mostly on the SnS discord group\u2026 And also Sarah Renae Clark\u2019s discord. I started posting to instagram again this week though\u2026 Well I\u2019ll try to update instagram more often\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s about all for now I guess. Till next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
