I GOT into the habit of using Noodler’s Ink while working on my Rhubarb book but I’ve got several Rotring ArtPens, so I’ve given them a rinse, popped a blue cartridge in one (for writing) and a brown in another (for drawing when I’m not intending to add watercolour).

 

Good to have them flowing again.
