... being late was worthwhile Martin

Nicely done Martin.

Well drawn, very effective Martin. I would really like to know which pen and which ink. you are using. I love the drawing.

Delightful Martin.

Thanks for that information Martin, the pen looks good on the Cult website, I'm assuming one of the Carbon Inks? It's all working well for you. I enjoy your work.

I think carbon is the permanent ink. I chose the wrong type. The ink comes inside the barrel. Plenty of useful youtube videos. Trying different papers. But smooth is probably better.

It’s very nice I have to say, painted in the Norford way 😊
