What Do Dual-Shading Inks Look Like?

In this soothing video, Drew (silently, this time) demonstrates what "chroma shading" looks like in fountain pen ink. Also knows as dual-shading or multi-tonal ink, these are some of Sailor's most impressive colors.

My husband came into the room during this video because he wanted to know why we had to listen to hold music for so long. He was not impressed when the response to, "What are you doing?" was, " Watching ink dry!" 😂

[JoeyTrejo]

Loved the calming music on this one. How about a ink sample set for us to give some a try?

[cherylthomae-barnes]

Husband: How was your day? Me: Great, I just watched a relaxing video of ink drying. My wish list just increased. 🤪. How to pick? Beautiful colors!!!

The most beautiful video I've ever seen from you. Congratulations for the charming moment you offered to me. For those who wonder, the title of the song is «Dear Frédéric» from Elise Solberg, from the album «grow in the dark».

I love the shirt, Drew.
It's just so cheerful that I can't imagine being able to have a bad day seeing it.

Loved the music in the video, and the super close-up shots really did the inks justice. This was a nice change of pace, though I honestly don't think anyone minds when Drew is not being silent. Great vid!

[EastWind]

Oh, how I love these. I already have Rainfluff, Thunderfluff, and Hinoki. I'm gonna need to add Manyos Haha and Fuji to my collection immediately. Love them ALL!

My goodness this was a work of art, I’m watching it again. I’m buying at least two! Very effective Drew PEACE

This style of shading is just so gorgeous, and I would not complain if it became a bigger thing. Currently have an Iridescent Kaweco Sport (M) loaded with Nekoyanagi, and its just such a nice match and performs so well. May have to look into getting a bottle of Ink Studio 173 soon.

Ink is one of those things where I’m always searching for my next new favorite lol

This is my fav dual shading ink video.

[ichirofakename]

You got some particularly dramatic and excellent results. I just want to mention that I personally have been fooling around with Haha, and get similar results on less absorbent, coated paper. On my main paper, bristol board, which is more absorbent, though the ink shades, it remains in the base light blue color. Finally, on printmaking paper, which is super absorbent, you can get a halo of the secondary color.

Drew your a fantastic spokesman. Always enjoy the pen casts. You are getting more comfortable in front of the camera and pleasure to watch. This video is great. Beautiful music, beautiful inks, great company.

[SceneSkipper]

It’s a pretty small operation and you don’t sell their ink (yet), but Troublemaker Ink offers some very cool chroma-shading fountain pen ink.

The 173 was such a nice contrast. The other inks, while many beautiful, are so overwhelmingly green and lavender in color.

[EdoDoe]

The music was exquisite, Drew! I feel quite refined now and should withdraw to my escritoire and pen a heartfelt missive to my darling overseas…

[hannahmalcolm]

This was incredible!! I love your normal style of videos too, but this is really so calming. I love watching ink dry, and the music was so perfect.

[nordlyselsker]

That was beautiful to watch! I love chromashading inks! Just a little correction because I am a nitpicker and hairsplitter: It's "Nekoyanagi", not "Nekoyongi" (as you wrote in the video) or "Nekoyonagi" (as it says in the description).

[c.puzzle]

Can you guys do another one like this format? It's so soothing to watch with the music

[knitsistah]

Great presentation Drew. I’ve bought more than enough pens for the year, so I’ll now indulge myself with some of these beautiful links. The shading is amazing.
