Just Warm Up Play with Manga Dipping Pen

This will be neither a review nor an expert demonstration. Simply playing a bit with my Japanese pen nibs and holders since I have received some requests for demo videos with them in my YouTube channel. Wet Paint has a nice intro page describing the different Japanese nibs available for drawing manga and calligraphy.
This "Spoon" nib felt quite comfortable for laying down thicker lines and drawing freely in every direction.
Some doodle tests on Rhodia dotPad paper.
This Mapping Round Maru pen nib is reportedly designed for making fine lines, but also yields wider lines with a bit of pressure. Found that it requires too frequent dipping for my taste, and it felt rather scratchy (yet I'm used to plastic tip marker pens, and I haven't practiced with dipping pens all that much).

Video 1 - Just a few test marks made with a Nikko mapping pen nib.
Next we have some test doodles with Ultimate Crowquill Pen that a picked up at Jerry's a while back. Video 2. This nib holder is made of unfinished wood and is much longer than its Japanese counterparts. The unfinished wooden surface got soiled rather quickly during this initial test, but it was fairly inexpensive. The section of the barrel of the holder closest the the nib readily soaked the black ink.
