Artwork- Zebra Metallic Brush Pen in a Hahnemühle Black Book.
If you are here for Life Imitates Doodles giveaway #18, you can find it here. My Chipmunk-Pencil to Paint tutorial can be found here.
Doodlewash prompt Beet Red.
Beets are often more of a dusty purply-red than red-red so I thought the metallic pens would work well for them. Only – not so much. So I kind of have radioactive glowing beets. That’s fine with me. I never eat them anyway, lol.

Ty so much for sharing your world with me.
Thank you for your compliments!
these pens are really nice
I really like them. I just bought a 5-pack of the Mildliner brush pens. They’re nice, but a little different from the metallics. Same ink as the older versions.
The metallic pens work well on black, the little flecks of black grounding the work. (Yes, seems like a pun, but not intended.) This would make a perfect sign advertising red beets for folks wanting to buy them – to eat!
Thank you, Sharon! The effect of the metallic pen on black paper does make me think of some of the vintage crate box posters.
