Lamy Safari special edition review and sketching demo

Күн бұрын

One of the most popular fountain pens around, the Lamy Safari is a really smooth pen! I have been wanting to do a review and demo for awhile now. I gotta say, nerd-ing out with stationery is just so satisfying 😭
Note: I got my voice back since the last video so I babbled on a bit much in this one, hope that’s ok 😂

Just got my first fountain pen for sketching. It's a Pilot. I like your idea of different pens for different colors. I will look into the Lamy pen for sepia. Love your sketching sryle!

Love the Safaris for sketching! And I like your sketch a lot. Haha, I do like to have one designated ink colour for each pen, too. One thing I do differently, I fill the converter before putting it into the pen. Less messy, ;) I also like to draw with vintage Pelikans, especially the Silvexa, they are lovely.

Thank you! I bought a Lamy Safari med nib! I love my Micron pens, but after a while I wear the tip down to nothing! I think there’s probably more ink inside but I wear them down. I’m ready to give this a go!

Nice review, Lamy has so many colors (and nibs). I like Sketch ink from r&k, they are super water proof and came in colors.

I think you might enjoy Kakimori brass nib dip pen for sketching. One nib that has various line weights. Holds tons of ink and I like using it with Kakimori water-resistant black ink #10 :)

I just got a twasbi fountain pen and I use platinum carbon ink and it’s an amazing pen! The whole barrel is the ink well & it holds a ton of ink & it never clogs and it writes/draws so well! I was using another brand fountain pen and had problems with it clogging & the ink dried up really fast.

@leanngoodall7602 Жыл бұрын

Have you tried Noodler's Lexington Grey?. It is also waterproof but a lighter colour than the Platinum carbon Black.

@leanngoodall7602 Жыл бұрын

I recommend the TWISBI Eco. It holds a lot of ink and the chamber is always visible. They are reasonably priced ($40 CDN). I have three TWISBI and three LAMY AL-Star pends. Each has a different ink. I use Noodler's Lexington Grey, Platinum Carbon Black and Platinum Brun Sepia for my waterproof inks. I use Herbin Lie de The (a wonderful soft sepia colour with reddish undertone) which is wonderful for urban sketching. It bleeds wonderfully. I use Ferris Wheel Press April Showers, not waterproof, but it is a lovely pale grey. My other two pens are inked with a variety of other colours, as I feel inspired. I do notice that a LAMY F nib is equally to a TWISBI XF nib.

Ever use sepia ink in your pen instead of black? I bet sepia linework would look great with your artwork. Sepia linework looks much better than black, imo. Love your work. Keep it up!

@10000spidersinatrenchcoat Жыл бұрын

Wow, I just got myself the exact same pen and ink 2 weeks ago and have been obsessed. I was planning on getting another for white ink so I could highlight drawings and other black and white fun but it turns out white inks are too thick for fountain pens. 😢 Lovely drawing, too! You’re a fantastic artist.

Did You think about using different converters for different colours? Less expensive than one pen per colour…😊

@sielsounds 6 ай бұрын

This was my thought as well!

@melissaadp 4 ай бұрын

I think this is quite difficult cos if we take out the converter when it still has inks, it will leak and become messy, it will be difficult to store the converter with ink as well, when changing inks we always have to flush the remaining inks from the pen so it wont mix with other color and clogging up the pen~ i just learned this as well cos im new to fountain pen, but it requires quite a lot of maintenance, so i agree that it is easier to buy new pen and fill with different color than changing the color in one pen only

F and M are almost the same. Too thick for writing, but great on textured paper, like the one she’s using.

Thank you for showing us the box and warranty card. Now we know how a real lamy looks like. The world is full on fakes out there... If you still have this pen please make also a video or a short of how the x is on the cap and how the Germany is on bottom. Every little detail that will help us separate the reals from fakes. Greetings from Greece!
