She/her, norwegian/english, a splendid cat, very tired

I'm not good at ALT-texting and it's a lot to do with self censure, I know why alt-text is good, I still can't always do it, sorry!
Another fact about Her Highness the cat: She smells nice. It's about 30% the scent of Everclean Fast Acting litter, and the rest is just an absolutely delightful cat. Here she is telling me I need to stop being upright and go to bed so she can roll over on my face for a while

She was screaming at me like there was a food crisis. The crisis was just that she needed me to scratch under her chin for a good 15 minutes

Now the top right trees are getting blacked out because I went at them trying to add some linework and it just messed with the brush stroke textures. The rest work okay with the warbly outline. Then, again from top right, adding my nonsense squiggles. Probably not going to feature other colors tho

I think it's a bit mean to put a tube of acrylic paint in day 1 of the art supply advent calendar, frankly, but maybe other people are less intimidated by it than I am. Haven't really touched the stuff since...long. Long time. But surely, I thought, I can bring the medium down to my level!

Ohmygod. My mom knit a whole advent calendar for me and this sweater is ✨️✨️✨️

Jeg fikk en surprise bag fra Penstore som hadde litt egnet for meg og noen ting mindre egnet for meg. Den trekant-rullen på bildet er en sånn her, men med "memo art"-motiv: omy-maison.com/en/products/...

Perler og fargelegging, altså. Jeg vil gi bort! Julegave til deg eller fra deg til noen andre.

Jeg investerte en gang i en vinterjakke fra lululemon FORDI den hadde seler på innsiden som lot meg bære jakka på ryggen innendørs ved å bare ta ut armene og la den henge der (den ble stjålet, men damn jeg burde modde nåværende jakke til å gjøre det samme)

I am flattered to be the preferred cat seat, but I'd also quite like to use my tablet to do some donkey drawings...please

Getting through my sorting mess enough to clear some table space, which is instantly rewarded by Her Highness.

She gets EXTRA royal in winter fur. Look at that floof armor

It has been suggested that I visit the neighbor massage center and possibly stop this nonsense shriek in my ears but do you even know how many pens I can get for the cost of ONE head/neck session

It costs MANY PENS

Uni-Ball Vision Needle

Aha! Another Vision model, and THIS one is shocking. A rollerball is NEVER this good, I have to fiddle more with it to find out how much stuff I can make it do

Pentel Tradio Stylo
This one is...peculiar. Refillable, so not as disposable as others, and a unique feel. Not unique as in high quality, the plastic nib is weird and prolly offensive to some, but maybe the overt scratchy/cheap nature is why I have a soft spot for it. It's liberating

Cats are often annoyed when you move things, because, well, those are THEIR things. Of course. Former feral Sofie is the most particular little weirdo I've ever met, though, and I am one of her things. And if I'm >1 m away from This Exact Couch Cushion, she will scream about it. At length

Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Fude Nib Hard (FH)

One of my favorite drawing pens! It produces slightly finer lines than the Tombow hard tip, and is a tad more expensive, but usually easily obtained, since pretty much every art supply shop has a Pitt Artist range

Big ⭐️ in my non-existent rating system

Legami Erasable

...This is one of two Legamis I own DESPITE knowing I won't use them. They are both cat decorated. Truly a junk pen, but still irresistable

Uni Sign Pen

Really very meh, nothing to particularly recommend it for writing OR doodling
November 26, 2025 at 3:37 PM
Sakura Gelly Roll
These have a remarkably long shelf life! I don't draw or write in bulk with them, because they are gels and I don't love it, BUT they are opaque and very useful for highlights on top of marker pieces. I always keep a white one for small sparkles/corrections, but will use colors too

Pentel Handwriter

Feels weird - like a wetter ball pen, in a sticky sort of way. Meant for beginner writers, I'm...unsure how useful it is to that demographic, as the pen body is very thin and has no grip

(Also sampled: Dried out Schneider Xpress, a reliable fineliner available at clasohlson)

Faber-Castell Fast Gel 0.7
Another fast drying gel pen in a spunky blue color, because I clearly have a type 😋
But - this doesn't perform well for my hand, it goes in the house pen tray (the one where other human knows there are pens that aren't artsy-weird and/or precious)

Uni-ball Vision RT (0.8)

Rollerball, big, fights me when I make my marks. (Skipping, even blotching)

Unfortunately the internet is now informing me of all the different versions Uni puts under one catchy name like 'Vision', so I guess I can't know anything about, uh, 'Vision ELITE' and whatnot

Kuretake Fudegokochi (F, I think)

It is a FEATURE of a good inker that it gives you a lot of ink, but it's also the drawback for inattentive lefthanders, as shown. Excellent pen for producing beautiful ink-black lines - IF staying aware of where you touch the paper, and don't need it to insta-dry

Pentel Brush Sign pen
This is a good, cheap, easily handled brushpen that comes in many colors. However, if you make linework and want to add watercolor or alcohol markers for colors, you will want the version that is permanent - because this one will wash out and smear and make a mess.

Stabilo Sensor F
I think these are just slightly better constructed versions of the same basic fineliner. Actually remember scooping this up with some other not-seen-before cheaps in a Glasgow office supply shop. It is good at being what it is, but I see no reason to go out of my way for one
November 26, 2025 at 10:50 AM
Stabilo point 88
...It felt nice to use this one but that's 100% because of the previous roller/ballpoint messes. I got a big set of these as a kid and loved them. If I ever need multicolor fineliners again I could easily opt for these, but, well. Shrug?
