"What's your favourite colour?" "Ostrich."

For the full art with this: Every time the pen runs out he has to switch to a different color ink and complete the whole drawing like that

Is it just me, or is the black from the dip in pen “blacker” than the go-to pens from Jazza?

I love my glass dip pen! I use it primarily for calligraphy and occasionally for inking thinks that aren’t going to be colored; and for the “oh, that’s a very unique tool” from my art professor 😂

With the final drawing the guy Jazza drew with the glass pen: his vest is the blackest black I have ever seen in a drawing.

Ink: Hippopotamus is hippopotamus _hMmMm YeS tHiS fLoOr Is MaDe Of FlOor_

When drawing with the ink dip pen, you have the advantage of being able to spread the inks to give shading and changing the intensity of the colour by using a water brush to move the ink about. Yes you can do the same with non permanent pens, but the ink is much easier and fades much better!

"This is like a golden color" Either he's color blind... I'm color blind... or youtube is

"Glass Pen" You can't fool me Jazza. I know a unicorn horn when I see one.

Jazza: "YoU gUeSsEd It!" *draws a hippo, a giraffe and an ostrich* Me: I did not guess it

I feel like that pen was extracted straight from a unicorns head...why is my brain like this?

Ok hear me out, color changing lights distort the colors in the room, Jazz a should get color changing lights in a dark space (no other light sources) and he should do a drawing with the color distortion

“It’s not the worst pen I’ve ever used and it has a lot of cons, but I really like it” “How come?” “Shiiiinyyyyyy...👀”

"cause it's shiny" How dare you appeal to my crow brain

It’s one of the only fancy pens I can use, cause I’m left handed. 😭 Also, these are on aliexpress for cheap, cause a lot of the ones being sold that I see are the same ones from ali.

I love using glass dip pens with water color. The ink keeps its sharp edges, adds most contrast and clarity to water color works.

"This pen allows you to express your personality" Jazza's personality: hiPpOPatoMAs iS HiPpOPatoMAs

The blackness of the glass pen’s ink was much richer....that one upside.

Dude. 😲 I’m legit blown away. I’d no idea I was more “normal” than I’d ever imagined. Thank God for Internet, I’m not alone. I’m not the only weirdo that freaks over a nice inkflow. I also thought pen fetish was a Girl Thing, but you done proved that wrong. 🥰 Plus you’re adorable. A fellow that is excited about ink pens AND is adorable. I wish my husband liked office supplies the way I do. Wait... Scratch that. He’d be forever losing my bits and ink. I know him too well. I’ll leave him to his motorcycles as I test drive New PENS!!!

The ink on his hands makes me very nervous. If that was me, my entire drawing would be smudged from the ink on my hand.

The solid black colour of from the glass pen is friggin amazing though.

The smearing probably isn’t the pens fault it’s most likely the inks .

I love have much fun Jazza is having with this pen. Just the clear enjoyment of it is great to watch.

I have this and I love it! I use for my watercolor paintings when I want a fine line.

As a kid my dad had a bunch of calligraphy pens on his desk and I always thought they were the coolest thing not knowing what they were.. just that they made the nicest lines.

Me trying to reach the essay word count: "hippopotamus is a large mammal of hippopotamus"

I might look into this. I like the aesthetic and feel of working with flowing ink - plenty of happy accidents that bring the piece to life. I can see the glass as being quite good for sketching in sepia tones.

Love the sharpness of color. Nothing better than a crisp black.

Thought the ink was made of animals. I'm horrified at my own thought

Jazza: talking Me: looking at the ink on his hands

Dude that’s so smooth.

Wow I LOVE that final drawing! It has a traditional comic book feel, I duno I really really like the look of the lines and how deep the filled in areas pop!

Jazza: “I’m going to sketch- you guessed it” Me: the jazza avatar! Jazza: *shows sketches of animals* Me: oh

Jazza: dip-thing Jazza's brain: you're an artist, you can't say that Jazza: inkwell

Everything about this review makes me happy. I've been playing with liquid ink for decades, so of course there is a glass pen on my desk. Mostly used to put new ink on multiple kinds of paper quickly so I know how I want to use it. The inkwell is for water to rinse.

I don't have near you're artistic abilities, but I do love pens and love to draw. That glass pen looks like it might be a little bit difficult at first but if you used it for a week straight you might be amazed at how versatile it is? Keep up the cool and good work.

I'd love to see Jazza attempt to do nail art. Would be interesting to see how he can work with nail polish 😂

I have a tip to the pen: The more vertically you hold the pen, the thicker the line I use one of the glass pen so hope this helps ( :

Thank you for covering this I've always wondered about these

I like the illustrations shown with the the dip ink pen. Thanks for sharing.

As a lettering artist for over 40 years, may I offer some thoughts. I don't own one of these pens so I speak at a disadvantage. I have a huge collection of calligraphy dip pens and nibs. And I also do a lot of drawing with a wide variety of pens. Including the brush marker you use in the video. The pen looks like it is best suited for lettering not drawing. The little glass jar is likely to be used for water to rinse off the nib. I would be using the dropper to drop ink onto top of the nib for it to flow down to the tip. No professional lettering artist I know dips the pen directly into the bottle of ink. If you own one, try dropping a drop of a different colour when your ink is partially done. You will be pleased with the results of mixing colours.....start with one colour, have a mix of two and end with another colour. And let the ink dry at least overnight before you erase pencil guidelines. I have couple of videos on KZfaq on beginner lessons on Italic lettering font as well as videos of my colouring book for adults.....so you can see that I do speak from experience.

Normal people: Inkwell Jazza, an intellectual: Dip-thing

That dude is literally ripped! On another note: I've been wanting to purchase glass sp pens cir a while, so it's good to know about the feeling of it scratching against thr paper. I guess if I do, it'll be just for collecting.

I subscribed at “Color me ostrich.”

Jazza: * buys a calligraphy pen * Jazza: * doesnt do any calligraphy *

10:54 Can we just talk about how satisfying that solid black is?

I wanted to buy this for a friend of mine. Glad to see a demo!!

I`ve learned more about tools from you than anywhere else. Still to practise using them, looking forward to it. thanks Jezza!

I would say the glass pen ink has a "smoother" finish when doing the larger areas. The felt pens I can see the brush strokes.

I will say the black ink in the “antagonist” is quite solid and beautiful, so I think maybe the ink medium is used so you don’t see as many strokes when it comes to solid patches of color in drawings. It is quite shiny and pretty too! *wow thank you everyone for the likes, I’ve never had this many and I feel special. 💘

I'm really glad to have stumbled upon this video, because I've been interested in getting this glass dip pen kit. Now I have a better idea of what to expect, and I definitely want one.

I love how black the black ink on the right is. It’s so pleasing

The ink wasn't smudging...you just didnt leave it to dry long enough +_+

11:09 “I think it’s probably messier than I would have liked” Jazza describing my life

I should be working, but I’m completely enthralled watching you test a glass pen. 😊

You are so crazy, in an awesome way! You make me laugh and lift my spirits. Don’t ever change.

“Lets turn the page” *Proceeds to rip the page out*

Lol, the second he said "The ink should be dry", I went "Oop, it's gonna smear. It never dries that quickly."

These glass pens are superb for applying masking fluid for watercolor and the like. Peels right off. The peeling is very satisfying, also.

The pros of using this kind of glass pen: it's more sustainable than normal pens :3

Jazza: *erases pencil Me: *blows on phone screen They ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine but you just can't get into it because they would never understand.

I'm so surprised that he didn't try to pipette two different inks on the pen, on either side of it, or one color higher and another lower, to acheive a gradual mix of colors. Just like the thumbnail.

filling with the glass pen is just so much more black and satisfying

I didn’t know I need dancing Jazza in my life, perhaps next time he’ll dance to Jazz? 🙈 4:10 best rhyme: „Now I‘m pretty aware that this might be, specifically, for calligraphy.“

"I got a new pen" **holy music**

Color: is red Nobody: Jazza : “looks golden”

I've been dying for one of these glass lens since the freaking 90s when they started appearing in all the gift shops along the coast here in California... I think I'm going to have to finally go buy myself one.

me: it’s red ink jazza: it’s like a vermillion gold me: yep vermillion with undertones of canary and hints of brass

One of the most effective classes I’ve ever taken for my art was colour theory. Gotta say, really wish we’d covered the relationship of hippopotamus, ostrich and giraffe more thoroughly.

I feel like your art on the right has the feel of old ink pen drawings like that of Hirschfeld. Technology has brought art to a whole new level, but it's nice seeing art the way that it used to be made years ago when life was simpler.

I really like how bold the black is for the ink pen

The first thing I thought when i saw the title of this video was: "Jazza with a glass pen. The minute he picks it up he's gonna drop it and its gonna break."

Did anyone ever walk into the wrong class in school and initially had that feeling of embarrassment but then are intrigued by the teachings of the class? That’s me and this video. I want to stay for the class lol

Yeesss another heavy handed artist!

I'm heavy handed too. Many a fine liner have been destroyed due to my angry drawing. That erasing issue is also devastating. Watching your videos has shown me that a lot of the 'mistakes' I have made in my drawing was a learning process. I appreciate that

"Because it's shiiiiiny" yup. That's why I buy most things.

“African ostrich is the only species of ostrich” Somali ostrich: am I a joke to you?

Glass Dip pens look so cool, it's like a magic wand but for paper!

I recommend getting a heat tool to dry the inks on your illustrations. Any rubber stamper's heat tool should work well enough. The Wagner one has a dual temp control. Fewer smudges. I would love to see some abstract work with the glass pen, maybe something involving text or calligraphy.

I'd like to see maybe the Glass Pen make a comeback with maybe some more known inks. I love the Windsor and Newton ones and used them on the last Inktober but maybe the drying/smudging could be more controlled with a better more artist aimed ink?

Jazza: “I’m going to sketch, you guessed it-“ Me: Yourself? A dragon? 😂

the gritty texture before you colored it added something nice to the second half of the mirror

I like the outcome of the glass quill pen. I have one, but from Dollar Tree and it works great.

“Colour me impressed, or at the very least, colour me ostrich...”- Jazza 2020

LET'S VOTE! How long until Jazza breaks the glass pen? a) less than 2 days; b) in the first week; c) ... aaaand it's already broken. ### Results after 70 replys: a) 8 b) 25 c) 27

I got one today and I’m pumped!

I have one of those too, the same one but a different colour I think. I was surprised about how far the ink went too, so cool!

Let's be honest, Jazza is good at everything.

“I did the whole hippo in two dips!” Well that’s something I’ve never heard before...

How does his art look good when he’s just showing what pens are good

I use mine for drawing with ink, water color, watered down acrylic, and thinned out oil paint. Really good for getting those fine details, and the different mediums are easy to clean out of the glass pen.

Jazza: I’m gonna sketch, you guessed it Me: the Jazza avatar Jazza: *reveals sketches of the animals* Me: Ohp-

The poor in me cries every time he rips a page after only drawing two lines.

The dollar store had some basic glass pens like this. I used one then went and bought them as Christmas Presents because I had so much fun messing around with it. Definitely recommend.

I have a glass dip pen! They're great for writing letters to make them look fancy 😊

Jazza: Can I erase my sketches without smudging the ink? **Smudges ink** Also Jazza: Proceeds to continue erasing.

You could look at some of the things peter draws does, the glass pen means you can do cool stuff with glow in the dark ink and probably other weird inks you don't usually get in pens, it looks awesome

You just nailed it 🤷🏻‍♀️♥️

I didn't think that the glass pen would do as well as id did. I like it and would totally buy it!

Watching his hand get progressively more covered in ink throughout the video is great.
