I've always been so frustrated needing to clean my pens as I generally work digitally, and can neglect them for long stretches. A pen like this is absolutely perfect for someone like me who wants to draw with them only every now and then during the month. Thanks very much for the review.
I love seeing you draw more open spaces like landscapes! It feels like expanding the lens of the camera and seeing more of the world from your artstyle haha :,) great art as always!
Really lovely painting and nice review of the pen, the pen itself seens like it uses a standard jowo #5 nib which a really common nib used in other pens allowing to replace with other jowo #5 nibs, and some shops would even sell those with a modification of a super fine point almost like a needle
Beautiful drawing! I love the way you painted the sea and the rocks. Really interesting change from your usual drawings, where the architecture is the focus rather than the natural enviornment.
god, my artist brain says yes but my wallet says no -_- it's on my list, though! I've been looking for fountain pens to draw with so this is great for increasing my options
I love the image - how often do you paint water? I've been living by a river recently so I'm getting used to looking at /trying to paint calmer water, but the sea is so textured - I don't know where to start. Thanks for sharing
I recommend you draw the lines of the waves since it's what gives the look of water in massive amounts, but just keep in mind there are different kinds of waves so you might want to see the shape of the rivers waves and finally the color. This is very important since when coloring it greatly affects what kind of water you see, since you want to draw a river I recommend using a Forrest green with a small covering of blue (make the blue barely vissible), and also don't forget just because water is transparent doesn't mean it's transparent when it's in big amounts also the color of water varies on where the water is at. Hope this helps
I wanted to try this pen but wasn't sure, so needed demonstration on it, after seeing ur viduo, i decided to get one, thank u ur viduo came in right time for me
Your discussion about relative nib widths was very much on point. The very reason one was forced to use Rapidograph pens, historically. There is no option for 'Japanese' nibs in the selection page...is this due to a flow problem in the pen (unlikely) or just a marketing decision for European and North American customers? Nice work, per usual. Thank you, always a pleasure. Stay safe, please.
You always inspire me Mateusz with your style. Is that a new brush you are using? I saw the Escoda logo, they look like they have a lovely sharp point on them.
Thank you for sharing this. I think if you clean the nib with demineralized water after work, it's enough to don't dry, so if you work often with the same fountain pen, the capsule of water would be a gadget. My favorite fountain pens are transparent ones, so I can always see how much ink I have, it's useful to be reload at time. I use more Lexington grey from Noodler's than black for some illustration works with watercolors, I suggest you to try and if you want to make a video comparing grey to black with watercolors.
Yes I use the platinum in on other pens too but even with that you have to be careful and clean your pen monthly and every time you will not use it for longer.
@@mattjabbar maybe by amazon ? For a while I did'nt found Lexington grey. But finally I could get one and I saw they did not stop this one. I don't think they sell in France, I bought from amazon
Great review ! I never heard of this brand before (must have missed your first video about it) but I've been looking for a fountain pen compatible with "encre de Chine" or "India ink" kind of waterproof ink for quite a long time. So I rushed to check IndiGraph web site ! As it's a bit expensive (74 euros) I'll have to wait next month to buy it but I will surely choose the same EF nib size ! See, this drawing gear review was very usefull ! Thanks for that ! ;)
Oh ! By the way, trivial question but what size is the pen ? I Don't see the info on Indigraph site and I'd like to know if it would fit in my pencil kit ! ^^'
I liked the fact it's reusable, and you just put another bottle of ink! I was wondering how long do you have to wait until you apply the watercolor after using the pen?
Your Patreon photos are awesome and are helping me practice painting Japanese architecture before my trip to Japan! I've been using Sailor ink with my Lamy fountain pen and it stores really well between projects. But I'm looking for an alternative to black color. Something more charcoal or like 80% black. Do you have any suggestions?
Isn’t the selling feature that it is not just that is can be waterproof ink, but India ink, which contains shellac. Platinum Carbon black is waterproof and it works great. I use it in all of my fountain pens.
Thank you for this review! I ended up buying it after watching it. I love the design but right from the get go, I've had issues with skipping and scratchy feeling with the EF and M nibs. Did you have issues with this at the beginning? I used the indian ink that comes with it and on smooth 120gsm paper.
It might depend on the ink you are using too... I don't have the indigraph (I'm considering getting one), but I have many other fountain pens. How well each pen writes can depend entirely on the ink used.
Awesome video. Very nice pen! I'll have to look into this pen. Always looking to experiment with other types. Also, what's the name of the jazz song you're using in the background in the beginning?
Im a bit disappointed, I have used this pen for a few days now and I am getting a lot of dry starting and skipping. Terrible ink flow even thought I am using the Indigraph ink. I send a message to the company for suggestions. Let me know if anyone here has any advice.
Hmm that’s weird. If anything the pen was “too wet” for me. I think that maybe there is a problem with the nib. Contacting the maker was a good choice 👍
I bought this pen and was thrilled for the first couple of hours,but a day later it was a complete disappointment.The pen writes poorly, with gaps, the feeling that it is clogged(filled with ink Kuretake 60) I Regret that I spent so much money on a pen that does not WRITE ink
I can only speak from my own experience - having no major problems with the pen through the whole beta and final pen testing. Yes the ink can be watery when you don’t use the pen for too long and one or two times I had the ink leak a bit into the cap when I was traveling but (form me) the writing and drawing experience itself was on par with pens of similar nib class. From what I know the nib is manufactured by a third party anyway. If you have any problems please contact the Indigraph staff 👍
I don't think this is a smart concept for me; Sooner or later I would surely forget to keep that waterreservoir filled, and then the ink would terminally clog up my nice, pricey pen... Better stay with dip pens/brushes for indian ink. And for use on the go there are always waterproof fineliners.

Never been so good mat, effortless but good painting. Thanks

His sketches are better than my “refined drawings”
I'm so impressed seeing them out of Kick-starter!!! These pens look so nice

I don't paint water too much - I prefer architecture I guess. :)

Yes, I bought an Escoda Perla recently for more sharp details and because the waves here are quite sharp I used it for the whole thing.

platinum micro pigment/carbon black inks seems to work just fine on my preppy, I like the brun sepia! maybe get a grey with diluting the carbon black.
Yes I use the platinum in on other pens too but even with that you have to be careful and clean your pen monthly and every time you will not use it for longer.
if you like grey ink, i recommend you Lexington grey from Noodler's.
@@aylinbegum5744 Yeah I would like to try Noodler's inks but they are a bit difficult to buy in Japan (would have to import them probably).

14.7 cm (capped) 👍

With this ink it's almost instantly dry :)
It has everything I want except a flex nib.
Absolute talent on the planet

I really love your paintings! Have you ever thought about paint some landscape from harry potter? Something like part of the castle, or hogsmeade.

Waterproof pigment ink generally has an additive that makes the pigment waterproof when dry - it differs on the maker.
really nice stuff man

I... Really want that pen...
What was the grey in you were using in this? I'm having trouble finding it online
how do you paint and draw ocean waves like that, great art.
Great!
how do you store your pen? vertikal, nib up or nib down?
Oh forgot to ask can the fountain pen handle deleter black 4 ink.
🌻
great video! I ordered the Indigraph a few weeks ago so waiting for it to arrive - what brand of waterproof ink do you like?
I like the Rotring black ink they sell for their isograph pens, but the bottle is not well suited for fountain pens ;)

Please teach us how to draw details
Could I just ask what kind of white paint do you use for your illustrations?
I use all kinds, white poster color, white ink (pen white) from Dr. Ph. Martins the most.
Will the nib corrode with constant exposure to water ? Or rust ?
The one I have been testing was completely fine, that's an interesting point though.
What number lamy?
Awesome video. Very nice pen! I'll have to look into this pen. Always looking to experiment with other types.
Also, what's the name of the jazz song you're using in the background in the beginning?
Here And Now - Bladverk Band from the Epidemic Sound website.
@@mattjabbar Thank you for replying back to me! 😊

I think it was, yes.
just checked the website, it's not even that expensive

If you like the feel and line of dip pens / finalizers then yeah they are an easier choice 👍
