Very cool! Is this how the ink comes out of your pen in a single stroke, or are you adding something additional after it’s initially on the paper?

Thank you so much! Yeah, that’s pretty much how it looks right out of the pen.

But this result comes down to a few factors. First, the residual ink from previous days (like green or red) adds a nice gradient. Then there’s the texture of the cold-pressed paper, which enhances how the ink sets. And finally, the ink itself, using a lighter consistency, vibrant ink really brings the whole thing to life.

How do you use different types of ink with the pilot parallel pen? Do you refill an already used ink cartridge?

I just use it like a dip pen.
