leece<p>This Mermaid was drawn using a dip pen, and Diamine's Upon A Star Chameleon shimmer ink. <br>The Chameleon inks are really hard for me to photograph, they're sparkly, but very tiny sparkles,<br>and on a rainy day like today there's no sunlight.<br> <br>My phone light does bring them out, but without bringing out a real camera it's probably a lost cause, and I would rather just get it posted. If you look at the close up of the tail you can see that it's got quite a sheen going on, and also I did manage to capture a tiny tiny sparkle. There's more there, really, but I just can't get it to show.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoAi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoAi</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DrawingWithoutANet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DrawingWithoutANet</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NibPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NibPen</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Ink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ink</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MerMay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MerMay</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MerMay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MerMay2025</span></a></p>
