As we get older we develop into that cartoon character with many similar clothes for each day

you know it's a good day when chroma uploads

You can't believe how fast I clicked on this video.

I feel this so hard. I always get new random ass pens and pencils but at the end of the day my favorite drawing tool is a 0.5 HB mechanical pencil. And it kinda bums me out because i long for the richness of inks and also like sketching in ink, but it always ends up looking so attrocious i revert to the graphite

edit: I have been doing an entire sketchbook in ballpoint pens now and im not going back 💪

I have been buying pens like crazy and my conclusion is that pens are just pens and none of them are going to give this illumination moment. I think that capitalism taught us that buying is a kind of hope, so we buy and buy hoping something amazing is going to happen. But after a collection of varied pens (dip, fountain, felt tip, etc etc), is nice to realize that everything is already ok and nothing is actually lacking.

I can confirm this issue--I refuse to call it a problem--of buying multiple pens and ink holds true for a writer, too.

Many times, I've looked at my collection, and thought I have more than enough.  And yet, I still want one of these.  I tell myself it'll help me get into even more inks and paper.

I appreciate the testing of different inks.  That will be most helpful.

This channel is why the Internet is awesome.

I always think my new art supply is going to be my new favorite thing that’s magically going to “click” and that’s never the case 😂

Great video!

I think it has come to the point where drawing on paper has become as much about the tactile, sensory experience as anything. Really, digital is pretty much the most versatile and probably best media in most ways, but still many of us continue to draw with pens and pencils on paper, and I believe we have started to recognize the other values of analogue creativity. So really, this makes perfect sense. We'll always be questing for the best experience, and likely enjoying a number of different experiences while never quite being fully satisfied.

I know a Monogatari fan when I see one

Thank you for introducing me to this dip pen, I have been looking for one to like for a while now and this seems right up my alley.

It's a good thing I don't have ink pots because I'd down each of them like a health potion.

I loved the inconclusive and honest ending. I’ve been there plenty of time buying a new pencil or pen or brush pack thinking it was going to be my end all but that’s never been the case. It’s nice to see it from other perspectives and for other reasons. Great work as always

Something to outdo the hi-tech C?!

I think a lot of people fall into this ''hamster wheel'' mentality as you call it. A couple years ago I bought 12 watercolours during Covid for something to do and now I want to buy more sketchbooks and ink pens to add variety to the watercolours drawings. I want to test all the waterproof black inks and test all the papers. It's a slippery slope and a bad one. Like you, I want to find the ideal pen for inking my watercolour pieces.

wdym new favorite pen I bought a hi-tech c two days ago

0:57, See, now that's funny. Genius scale cheeky.

10 seconds in and I already agree with everything you're saying, I've gotta have a favorite thing of everything.

Buying new supplies can be a good way to trick yourself into drawing more haha
