So, @rek had these sort of metal quill tips, I don't know how they're called.
I can't help but be amazed by their simplicity. It's a single piece of folded metal that'll fit over almost anything. Here I stuffed the end of a mixing stick into it, and turning into a pen.
I don't know why I have never seen those before.
@jalefkowit @rek ah! thank you :)
@jalefkowit @neauoire @rek specifically a dip pen nib; that is, a nib designed for pens that do not have an integrated ink reservoir (they tend to be designed to retain more ink than fountain pen nibs)
@neauoire there's a whole wealth of variations on this too if you want to go down a rabbit hole; i did comics in school and a lot of the teachers were very excited about the different kinds of nibs you could get
@neauoire @rek That's a nib! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nib_(pen)
