More Ink Tests
I've been testing all my fountain pen inks on a variety of papers--you can see more results on my Flickr page, and on the discussion on Russ Stutler's Sketching Forum--last night was fun, I was having a three-way discussion in as many countries! The 'net is an amazing place...
You can find some of the samples, mine and others', here: http://www.sketching.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1353
