    I can highly recommend Pilot Kakuno or TWSBI for your next fountain pen. Personally a good quality fountain pen to start your fountain perm journey with is important so we learn the standard of what a good fountain pen feels like without breaking the bank. I am not saying your current ones aren’t good since I am not familiar with them. But from your comment about the angle and how the tine just suddenly bent like that, I am just wondering if they are the right ones for you. Thanks for sharing!

I’m still new to fountain pens (5 months in the journey) so I appreciate everyone sharing their favorites 😊 I’ll do some research on those two and see if I’d like to try any of them. I really wanna try one for sketching, are they suitable for that? Thank you so much!

      @@CharVillena Ah for sketching? There is a RUclipsr in Singapore who is an illustrator whose reviews of fountain pens I can highly recommend. Because he sketches with them and can give you the perspective you need. I’ve been away from the fountain pen scene for 2 years so his name escapes me. But a quick search on RUclips hopefully will lead you to him. I’ll come back with his channel name when I find him.

    Enjoyed the video. I am an old artist new to using fountain pens , too. I'm going to be getting the Platinum Carbon ink & Sailor Fude pen. After seeing your video, I am also going to be getting the syringes to avoid the mess & waste. I totally agree that filling the converters via dunking the nib into the bottle is not the most efficient method. Thanks for sharing your experience & excitement 😊

  • @leanngoodall7602
    @leanngoodall7602 Месяц назад

    Platinum Carbon Black is fabulous. I have it in my Lamy Al-Star (F nib), TWISBI Eco (M nib) and in two different dude pens (Including a Sailor). You may find it easier to draw with your dude pen if you hold it at more on a 45 degree angle.

  • @nadiareads6359
    @nadiareads6359 Месяц назад

    With the artist dates, I tailored them to suit my accessibility needs :) For example: one artist date involved me exploring my spirituality by getting a tarot reading, another artist date was me coloring in an adult coloring book. For the morning pages I do one page, and if anything comes up through out my day that I need to vent about/write down I go ahead and do that. Your journey is unique to you. For the first time today I used my laptop to write my morning page, because.. I needed a break from writing by hand. I could have seen the obstacle and just skipped today, but I didn't. These little moments would have been moments where I would self sabotage myself, and I want to stop doing that. Thank you for sharing your experience! The other thing I noticed was that I could visualize myself in a beautiful garden with my guardian angels, and what's nice is that I have no disability when I just go there! In that meditative space we sit and talk about things. Before the artist way, I couldn't visualize this so there you go!

    • @CharVillena
      @CharVillena Месяц назад

      Thank you for sharing your experience as well! :) I love the idea of getting a tarot reading. I've gotten a few done and it's so fun! Also, I have altered Morning Pages this year and have been doing one page, too. It's a lot better, imo. If I want to write more sometime during the day, I extend it to my other journals (physical, audio, or video form.)

    Fantastic vlog. Thank you. Remember, a first reading of The Artist Way is not “ the end” because of all the activities in each chapter. Those activities will take me a long time to complete and so I’ll enjoy them even after I finish reading. Plus, there’s so much packed in each section, I think the material will come alive in new ways on subsequent readings. Blessings to you!

    • @CharVillena
      @CharVillena Месяц назад

      Thank you! I agree with you that the first reading is not the end. I've flipped through the book a few times to refresh my memory. Months after, I've answered prompts I haven't answered during those 12-weeks. There are certain books I like to revisit every year or so because they're packed with so many hidden gems, and The Artist's Way is one of them 😊

    I'm on week 4 currently and I kinda adjusted the morning pages to suit my lifestyle. I set a timer for 15 to 30 minutes depending on time available and write as much possible on A4 size note book. Sometimes it's one page or a page an half. On days when I have the luxury of time I can go upto 3 pages or more if need be. And also I don't write them upon rising. I write at mid morning or lunch or night before going to sleep. What matters most is that the pages help you reflect and redirect.
