Day 24 of #inkvent2025 was "Antler", a pigment ink. I didn't like most of the pigment inks, but this one was a little easier to use. Tried Let it snow for sky(Ref: @artinpec - sandbanks Beach, Prince Edward County week 45 @drawdailytogether)

Day 22 of #inkvent was "Pineapple spritz", a chameleon pigment ink. Forgot to post this a couple of days ago. I'm not a fan of this ink. I did some practice sketches but it was hard to move or dilute.

#inkvent2025 Day 17 Gala, Standard
Here's a quick sketch of one of our walks. I got a bit lazy with the trees, but the sorghum field is really there.

This ink shades a bit, but there is little or no chromatography. It's not my favorite, but it's not terrible.

#Inkvent2025 Day 11 Brrr!/Pigment shimmer, glass nib

I don't think i like these pigment inks as i normally use them, but they are very resistant to bleach and water once dry, so for lining they'd be a nice change .

#Inkvent2025 Day 9 Nostalgia/Chameleon with Hunt drawing nib. This was one of the trolls at the Coastal Maine Botanic Garden from our summer mini trip.

I wasn't able to capture the chameleon shimmer, though I tried 3 sources of light. I don't prefer shimmer, but this one is nice.

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.

This is another underrated gold-green ink. Bleach brings out the hidden green, but it’s tricky to stop the reaction before it bleaches completely.

It’s another interesting ink w/strong pink base and more ephemeral green. In concentrated form, it’s darker, closer to purple-brown. I may add lining black ink later.

Morning walk in the woods. #30days30inks, ink: Ferris Wheel Press Oinking Embers. Not a good art day, but the ink is not the problem. It’s a perfect fall color with some subtle chromo. The bleach response was too strong though, so the other colors are lost. Steno 66EF

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.
