#30inks30days Day 7 is KIP - ⁠Letter From Platycodon. This is a warm mauve ink which shades into a peachy coral-leaning pink, with patches and haloing of dark indigo.⁠ The pink is a little more pronounced in reality, but overall the effect is pretty subtle.

Day 6 of Kitty Inkpot #30inks30days is A Certain Peach Tree⁠. Is it green? Is it beige-grey? Is it a rich burgundy? All of the above! This was an early example of Kitty Inkpot's no-holds-barred approach to chromoshading inks and I love its madness.⁠

Day 5 of Kitty Inkpot #30inks30days is A Certain Letter, a slightly pastel pink base colour with a much more intense pink-red in pooled areas, chromoshading into some grey-blues. I've inked this up several times and really enjoyed it each time.

Day 4 of Kitty Inkpot #30inks30days is A Certain Blue Whale from their Season 2 collection. It's a lovely muted grey-blue that shows muted teal and a more saturated dark blue in chromoshading. I’m usually quite "meh" about most blue inks, but I really like this one.

Day 3 of #30inks30days: this is KIP's Candle Flame in the Forest, a gorgeous cool green with blue undertones and a coppery-red haloing sheen. Also, it looks super-cool when it's drying; it goes down a dark blue teal and gradually reveals the green as it dries. ⁠

I decided last-minute to join #30inks30days for April, so here goes day one:

Anyone else starting off with whatever they already had in their pen?

Day two of #30inks30days and my month of Kitty Inkpot inks. This is Clear Dream on Field, a very pretty warm pastel lilac with a sparse gold shimmer – Kitty Inkpot's Season 1 all came in shimmer and non-shimmer versions (which I think might be the only time KIP have done shimmers).

Day one of #30inks30days and I’m doing a full month of Kitty Inkpot inks for April. Kicking off with my favourite from their first season collection, Dissipate the Mist is a very pretty teal/turquoise blue with an unusual texture.

I cannot believe it’s nearly April, wtf.

Relatedly, is 30 Inks in 30 Days a thing on Bsky? Should I post my efforts here?

I accidentally grabbed a pen without waterproof ink, so some of that blended with the main ink. I did a sketch of midcentury modern furniture. I love the look, but it’s not comfortable.

Carlsbad village with Sailor Budo. I modified a bit with Kuretake granulating paints, and then the power went out. both saturation & warmth are off, but had to use a flash. 2nd image = B&W filter.

Day 15 30 Inks in 30 Days

Van Dieman’s Sea Spray is a lovely green to pink chromoshader. It does write well, although I found in a medium nib it did lean more towards green without much pink shading.

Day 14 30 Inks in 30 Days

Lee Ming Coral Sea is a lovely green blue chromoshader. I’ve found in writing it leans a bit more towards the blue, but still very nice!
