Hearing you say “I don’t need to be the best, I don’t even need to be good” is incredibly freeing. I’m going to start using that mantra when I start creative projects- like things don’t need to be right on the first go ❤️
I always think it’s funny and cute how people from different countries see the fountain pen as something special. In Germany kids have to use these to write in school, only in the higher classes you are allowed to use ballpoint pens. Hope you find this info interesting. Love you all ❤
you can ABSOLUTELY see your improvement over the course of your time in this book. and it's so cool to see how your art COMES TO LIFE during spooky season which is so so interesting to me because i feel like i've always attributed a more summery vibe to what you share.
(yes I'm commenting in real time as I watch) but I would love to know if your Kakuno pen's ink just magically evaporates over time.. I've had a pink one and every time I refill it and use it once, the next time I go back it just doesn't have ink in it??
Omg why did I just see this!!!! So I gave mine to my mom so I don’t rly know, BUT I think that is a common fountain pen problem… maybe urs has some kind of opening where the ink dries out???
keeping one book for everything (including merch ideas) is sooo liberating, for some reason the best ideas come from little silly doodles that I never expected could be turned into anything else! loved the tour 🥰
I love this video and it makes me so happy to see another Fountain Pen artist! I draw with mine all the time. I let my obsessive nature get me in deep, but if you want another good low-end brand, TWSBI ecos are amazing and have such big ink areas. Both their medium and broad nibs will give you that big juicy shading thing you want. I will definitely be subscribing to your channel!
I was typing this while watching and you mentioned nibs !!! If you like the Lamy Safari pen - try changing the nib to the Lamy Calligraphy nib (specially the 1.9mm one).The urban sketching community here swears by it! Usually special inks like the one you used (it's such a beautiful ink!!) or shimmers will shine more if you bigger nibs too so the green might show up more on a broad nib.
Watched this on my first day in Tokyo. Was worried what to do as I’m here for a month. This has completely inspired me to delve into myself and be more creative even tho I’m not an artist I do cute doodles whenever I have a pen in my hand. You’ve inspired me to flesh out this part of me without judgement and just for fun!! Love u Megan 🥲🥲🖌️🐠
Omg this made me emotional!! First of all I hope you have an INCREDIBLE month in Tokyo!! and second I think if you make cute doodles u ARE an artist!! I hope you have fun creative discoveries this month and most importantly have fun ❤️❤️
fountain pens were one of my hyperfixations a few years ago and i HIGHLY recommend the MUJI fountain pen. super simple, super cheap and its my favorite pen for drawing
🌸 Ahh this was the cutest sketchbook tour ever!! I really enjoyed seeing all the pages, and I’ve gotta give those pens a try they look so cool. This honestly inspired me to stop being so scared to draw in my sketchbook and to have fun again. I’m gonna see if I can finish my sketchbook this year fingers crossed 🤞🏾. Take care 😊
yessss fountain pen!! I've had mine for almost 6 years, it got me through a big chunk of university and I love drawing with it (it's a faber castell - could'nt find the exact same one on the website but I think the equivalent would be the Ambition OpArt, expensive but totally worth it for my use!). I use basic fountain pen inks but now you make me want to try new ones 👀
ooo what are some of your favorite basic fountain pen inks?? the ~fun ones~ are exciting but lately I find myself craving something nice and simple ToT
@@MeganWangart I use Parker Quink! I get them in little glass bottles too. Mostly black, but I also have a dark blue one that is soo pretty (I love doodling/drawing with dark colors, but I think they have lighter colors as you said you didn't like that much drawing in black)
I couldnt actually get a fountain pen to work fo rme for the longest time, finally figure out howe to angle them, and do like sketching with them now 😀32:34 great looking dragon😀
As a fountain pens enjoyer I'm so happy that many artist started to use fountain pens to create art. I personally prefer dip pen over fountain pens when drawing tho. Maybe the nib on your Kakuno is too fine so it's created some feedback when contact to paper. You feel Lamy has more control because the tipping part on its nib bigger and smoother than Kakuno. You can try Preppy/Plaisir/Prefonte by Platinum, their 0.3 nib very smooth but I can say cleaning ink kinda a pain 😂
STOP. I’ve been thinking about getting fountain pen inks for a while now and have been getting ads on it, but this tour was really informative ❤Maybe I SHALL get one🧐
i got my first fountain pen with a converter beginning of jan paired with my first hobonichi and it brings me so much dang joy ;-; i LOVE pens and write n' draw alot so it's rly cool to have a pen with infinite(?) XP >:o) heh heh heh. & better for our sweet earth as wheeeeel. yippy. love yer drawings, as always megan, you dream.
What colored pencils and pastels do you use and do you have a link for the tombow used in 28:55 ? I’ve been following your insta for a while but didn’t realize you have RUclips! It was so exciting to see a collection of work in this format and I’m glad I subbed
Are fountain pens not a thing were you live? 😅 Here in Austria every single left handed person (including myself) has a trauma from these from elementary school 😅
oh no i swore i wasn’t gonna go down the fountain pen rabbithole but then you posted this video and now there’s a lamy safari sitting in my cart?? help
I've also purchased from jet pens!!! But I do recommend going in person to a stationery store if you have one near you.. and if you're unsure of what you like I'm glad I purchased some off of amazon so that I was able to return the ones that I really didn't enjoy ~
@@MeganWangartnoted! I’m going to a local art store tomorrow to hopefully find something! If not I’ll buy one of the recs from your Amazon link! Thank u ❤
I hate fountain pens! Here in my school in germany we were forced to write with these. Only with these. Although I get why they are nice to draw with haha but I just can't get over my hate for these ugh
This video was so nice and relaxing but I couldn't contain my laugh when you said "I'm obsessed with Le Pen", when Le Pen is a french politician like racist af and basically far right
Megan I asked to you, why you use sailor manyo Fuji ink with your Lamy because I am not familiar with it. And daksha gire respond for you and I don’t know who is she. Now she delete her message, it is a joke? 😮 I love to fallow you on you tube and I don’t you use instagram, tick tock etc. it is weird. 😊

Same in Austria. I'm left handed and these pens fill me with panic and rage 😂
already watched this twice on patreon and IM GONNA WATCH IT AGAIN i love u
"that's the fun of sketchbooks, I never feel pressured to finish things, (...) is purely for fun".
thank you for that

agh this is so sweet thank you!!! :') and omg I never thought of myself as a summer person so that's so interesting!!
THE WAY ROVER JUST WANTED CHAOS i love him
you and that fountain pen together are magical

maybe! tbh I gave up on fountain pens because of that, maybe it's too dry here???@@MeganWangart

I had 3 Lamys and I loved them they are beautiful to work, I had 3 with different colours. Your doodles look gorgeous. Thanks ❤😊
Your October 19th spread is my favorite. So cute! The spreads at the end are adorable too. Love your style!
the influencer level you are hitting with the fountain pen is so powerful. comparing it to paint/pen hybrid?! tf i gotta have one
Wait now I’m nervous you won’t like it HAHAHA

I highly recommend TWSBI fountain pens for large ink capacities.
Love my Lami safari pen with converter and I use a waterproof black ink with it.

congrats on getting into MOCA! this really inspired me to show my sketchbook off !
Omg we must be on the same algorithm cuz i also fell victim to fountain pens! Cant wait to see more of your doodles! ;w;
Omg!!!! I love that for us hahaha
Your sketches are so pretty! Also I may have spent the last 2 hours hyperfixating on fountain pens, sounds like my adhd brain found a new hobby 😂
Yayyyy!!!! I’m a month into it and it’s still so much fun 😭
@MeganWangart I can't wait to try! My Lamy Safari is arriving today and I have my eyes on the Diamine Safari green ink 👀
