Hi, I’m Terry. Welcome to my art and pen enthusiast channel. I use to draw all the time as a youngster but stopped due to school, work and other priorities. I draw mostly landscapes; my style is pretty basic and I have a lot to work on and learn. I’ve been a pen enthusiast since I was a teenager. I enjoy watching and learning from the various art channels on YT and hope to contribute in some way. Feel free to interact and share your art and pen experiences.

This is so helpful. I’m finally branching out with different nibs and I can define fear to this video - thank you!
Hi, Anita. Glad to help. Goulet has all of the writing samples for the different Pilot nibs to help you even more. I adore the PO nib but know it isn’t for everyone.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 Sweet! Thanks for the info :)
Whoa! That PO nib is amazing. I have this pen in SF, FM & SFM. Obviously I love my Pilots, they make such great pens. I buy from Japan on ebay and get very reasonable prices.
Hi, Peggy. It is something. If you like fine and it looks like you do, you should check it out. Pilots are in a class of their own.
Hey, how do think the Vanishing Point nibs compare to the Pilot 823 nibs? I love the medium black coated VP nib - great line width and feels bouncy. I was considering an 823 but not sure if it will feel as bouncy.
Hi, Jennifer. They feel different to me but not in a bad way. I really like my Decimos especially. I’m surprised by how much they bounce. My 823s bounce but not quite as much as my Decimo nibs. I haven’t used my VP in a while but don’t remember it being bouncy. The 823 nibs are great though, especially the M. It’s probably in the top 3 in all of my collection.
Thanks for the comparison and the great video! 😊 The 912 with an FA nib and ebonite feed is on my list. I did not realize all the line widths that the PO nib offers with reverse writing. Glad to see the joy you have with these pens!
I think the Ebonite feed really helps to get the most out of it. I may get one down the line but for now I’m content. If you don’t mind the cheap plastic packaging, the Amazon and eBay sellers are a steal.
Terrific
Hi, Richard. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it!!
What a nice video. Thank you RS. Canada
Thank you. The results weren’t what I expected and not as clear cut as I hoped but I hope it is helpful.
This is the finest ambidextrous writing I’ve seen in my video feed. Well done! 🙌
Hi, Nib. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
I would love to see your process if you decide to make a video on it! Do you feel like your drawing has improved since starting? Beautiful work and thanks for sharing the updates:)
Hi! Yes I am planning on doing a new update soon. I have 3 more plates to complete. I do feel like my shading and anatomy skills have improved a bit. This is my first time really trying to draw people and body parts. I focus mainly on landscapes.
You are a joy to watch and listen to. Being “long in tooth” I’m late in returning to my love of fountain pens from my teenage years. I also appreciate beautiful design. My collection is very limited and was considering Pelikan, and I’m now convinced that Pelikan will be my next acquisition. If I might be so bold to ask, what pen is your every day carry and writer? Do you have a preference for your left or right hand? Finally - thank you!
Hi, David. Thank you so much for the kind words. My everyday carry consists of my Montegrappa Mia, Cross Bailey Light, Aurora 888, Lamy Vista and a Rotring rollerball. As for the Pelikans, there is a US based seller that has good prices on eBay. I don’t have a preference for hands. I am a natural righty but switch when my hand gets tired or if I need to switch angles when drawing.
Cross Townsend is made in China. However It is vert expensive in Spain. About 460 euros 10 carats filled gold fountain pen and made in China. Incredible!
Hi. They are fairly expensive here as well. Someone left a message the other day saying the Townsend nibs are made by Pelikan. That may explain why these are pricey. The nibs are steel though.
Cross townsend write well because its nib are made by Pelikan.
Hi. I had no idea. Very interesting. That would explain why they write on the thicker side. Thanks for the info.!
Well we know that Midori paper is 🐶 approved 😊 Thanks for the show n tell. I did prefer the feedback sound on the F and M nibs as opposed to the larger ones. 💜
Hi, Rob. The fine and medium are by far my favorites for writing. The broad and sig are great for drawing and coloring.
I’m so glad to see this I clicked so fast! Idon’t remember what the signature nib was like and I’m thinking the 823 sig nib is my next pen so this comparison is super helpful. Thanks, Terry!
Hi. Anita. It’s a perfect mix of a stub and a broad. Super smooth and very wet. Happy to help. Look forward to your review when you get yours.
Nearly spat my coffee all over the TV when you mentioned the drool. 😂 Thanks for the comparison. Been thinking of getting a few more 823s, with various nibs, for sketching.
Hi, Ash. The Sig is an excellent pen for art. That will be my primary use for it. My pets don’t respect my authority. I guess I should feel lucky that only two sheets were eaten.
I had a similar situation when I always inked my white and black Pilot Vanishing Point with Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi and loved it. I then got a sample of Kon-Peki but every time I tried to write with Kon-Peki, it was blue and wasn’t black and somehow it was just wrong and I had to un-ink it before all was right again. 😂 Thanks for sharing and for the great videos! 😊
Hi, Jennifer. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. I really thought I was overthinking the situation. I’m glad I’m not alone. I keep saying I’m going to change the ink in my M 823 but I after this, I think I’ll leave well enough alone.
Thank you. Love the ink samples, Teri. My most recent pen, a Black Twsbi EF inked with Carbon Black and enjoying it. The extra fine nib isn't as fine as I was expecting, but a very good flow and smooth writer. I haven't done any drawing with it yet.
Hi, Jan! Thank you. I’m enjoying the Carbon Black much more than I thought I would. Which TWSBI model did you get?
@@drawinsscribblins5326 I bought another ECO. My previous one is a 1.1 stub nib.
I totally understand the pen/ink struggle with your E95S. Maybe a rich brown would be easier (visually) to try. It would coordinate with the cap nicely. Have a wonderful July!
Hi, Anita. I’m going back to the deep reds. I just thought it would work. You have a wonderful July as well. Looking forward to seeing what you have for us this month.
I like your choice of the Fermo with the Truffle ink. Very nice!
Hi, Kevin. I didn’t think I would like that ink but it has become one of my favorites. Thanks for watching and commenting!
A galaxy of beautiful ink colors on the first page. When you started writing with the E95S I cringed at the blue ink. Isn’t that funny how some combinations are just wrong?
Hi, Peggy. I’m happy to know that it’s not just me. I thought I was being silly.
Beautiful currently inked for June!
Thank you. I enjoyed your June video. You have such a beautiful collection with some crazy nibs!
@@drawinsscribblins5326 thank you 💕 I do have some crazy nibs.
How am I just picking up that you are ambidextrous??? What what what??? That's amazing! You're handwriting is gorgeous with both hands. My handwriting is bootleg even with my dominant hand.
Wendi Sue!! I’ve taught myself as a child to write with both. You have beautiful handwriting.
Thank you for your video! I've seen so few reviews or info about this pen. I have one that should be arriving any day now. I can't wait! I got the plum blossom with warbler design.
You are very welcome. This is one of my favorite pens. I have one in M and F. Both are excellent. I hope you like yours. I look forward to your review!
The Chinese have the right idea including a converter. Catch up people! 😂
Hi. I know, right. I have expensive Platinum and Cross pens that don’t come with converters. I don’t get it.
Oh no, I would not recommend vinta inks in any pen that can not be disassembled completely, especially with shimmer, that’s a big no no
Hi. Thanks for the info. Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn’t like the Lakbay in the F Duna. It was too light and dry so it wasn’t in there very long.
Love your new pens! You always find something out of the ordinary.
Hi, Anita. The Maiora has been my favorite so far. I plan on doing g reviews of each soon starting with the Pilot.
The only Pineider I have is the Twin Tank Touchdown with an extra fine (later upgraded to a stub 1.1) and I had absolutely no problem with it, I do know of people that had similar issues though so I guess I lucked out, I will say that they didn't lie on the ultra resin, that thing took a nasty fall on rocks (yeah, I'm that moron who brings expensive fountain pens while camping) and was completely unscathed, I might actually get another one if they ever make a compact model.
Hi. I’ve been eyeing the Twin Tank. Despite my rant, I’ve haven’t given up on Pineider. I think they will get it right eventually. I have bought a few since and they have been better. Thanks for watching and sharing!!
I have the Opus 88 Jazz Holiday and with large hands like the large size. It is a great writer although two turns would have been better. Great video, thanks!
Hi. I thought the Demo was going to be too big but it is really comfortable. The size of the Omar is just about perfect. Thanks for watching!!
Beautiful pens - really like that Maiora Liberta. Oh and congrats on the 1k! :)
Hi, Eugen. Thank you. I enjoyed your recent video on the desk pen.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 Thank you! :)
I love that you write with both hands!
Hi, Jessica. Thank you for watching. I was obsessed learning to write with both as a kid. It’s been helpful
I liked the sound of the 823 Sig nib. Lovely indeed. I hope you enjoy a different nib than your usual finer ones. 😊
Hi, Dash! I’m trying to branch out with my nibs and inks but I keep going back to fines and blues. 😁
Brave to buy expensive pens untested! Love you voice
Hi! Thank you for the kind words. Brave and maybe a little crazy. I think not knowing is part of the excitement. Pen Boutique is local to me and I’ve only tried a pen in store once. I usually just buy untested. I was really taking a chance with the Pineider but it’s good. Thank you for watching!
I like all of these pens but I’ve been eyeing an 823 for eons feels like and the sig nib is a gorgeous writer. Can’t go wrong with that Iroshizuku ink too. Thanks for sharing your new babies with us.
Hi, Grace. If you like broad nibs, the sig is for you!! My favorite 823 nib by far is the medium.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 The only nib I don’t really like using is an EF, too thin and scratchy, so a Broad wouldn’t be a problem. Thanks!
I like the way you treat yourself.👍🏼 The pens are lovely, looking forward to the reviews after using them more. That signature nib on the Pilot is really broad.
Hi there, Peggy. It is really broad. Luckily, it varies depending on position. I probably wouldn’t like it if it didn’t vary.
Very nice pens! Thank you! Lisa
Hi, Lisa! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
@@drawinsscribblins5326 Of course!
Thanks for taking the time to sharing your thoughts on this pen, I have found my Lamy gold nibs are crazily broad but my steel nibs are consistent and much finer, maybe trying a regular steel nib in your dialog for a finer line?
Hi. You are correct. The steel nib line widths are more to my liking. I’m still trying to get use to the M. I’m putting shimmery inks in it. I may sign up for a custom EEF grind at the DC Pen Show. Thanks for watching and for the advice.
I love your variety of pens. The Two Dunas look like 2 completely different pens - love how that worked out for you!
Hi, Anita. Thank you! I’ve been enjoying the Dunas. Not quite the right inks in them yet though.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 Hope you find the right one soon. I feel the same way.
First off GREAT WORK! Appreciate the art. I have a couple of things. The proportional divider isn’t anymore of crutch than your stump is. I’ve heard people say that their teacher would break their hands if they were caught using a stump. So you should use the proportional divider if it gives you your desired result. Are you an artist?
Hi, thank you for the kind words. The stumps are definitely a crutch. Between you and me, I bought a whole bag full recently. I don’t consider myself an artist yet. I aspire to be one day. I’m still working through the book and will upload an update hopefully next week.
Good way to train your eye and put in a good sense of design. But think about what type of art you want to make and ask yourself if the course will help you develop the necessary skills to create the type of art you want to make.
Lovely ink! Nice writing too! :)
Thank you, Lily. I love the Inspired Blue ink.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 ☺️
A very useful video! Thank you.
Hi! You are welcome. Happy to help. Thank you for watching!
Interesting that you would take a smooth nib and make it less smooth. Never considered a nib could be too smooth
Hi, Steve. I know it sounds weird. It happens rarely but it that feeling like you are writing in glass that I don’t like. It’s like writing on an iPad without a screen protector. It just needs one quick pass on the fine grit sandpaper. I’ve only had to do it with one other nib. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I have the ‘old’ Delta Dolce Vita medium. Gold nib and beautifully smooth, that nib is also firm. Pleased Delta is back
I’m new to Delta but am also pleased that they are back. I’m hoping to get a gold nibbed one down the line. So far, I only have theirs with steel nibs.
You reminded me of how much I loved my old Pilot Plumix with a calligraphy nib, but I haven't seen it in years. I might have to keep an eye out for another one.
Hi, Peter. The Plumix wasn’t even on my radar. I got mine free at the Baltimore Pen Show. It is kind of goofy looking but that nib is something.
❤❤❤
Hi, Pickwick. Thank you for watching!
as usual, very cool. i hope next month is a blessing for you.
Thank you, Gristle. I appreciate the kind words.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 you are very welcome
Hello!😊 I am curious - how did you fill in your ink swatches? It is beautiful, the effect the inks have on the page! I love your videos!
Hi, Teresa. I used a circle template then just used the pens to color in half of the circle. To test the water fastness, I wetted a cotton swab for the other half. I like doing this b/c it allows me to doodle and I think it shows how the ink behaves in each pen.
@drawinsscribblins5326 thank you for getting back to me! :) I think I will try this! BTW, I am a big fan of yours! I admire how well you write with both hands! I am a lefty. Did you always write smoothly with both hands?
I'm very impressed with your abidextrousness(?)!
Hi! Thank you. It helps ease hand fatigue especially b/c I’m always doodling.
Hi Terry, I always enjoy your videos. Congratulations on hitting 1K subscribers.
Hi, Peggy. Thank you for the support and kind words as always. I appreciate you!
