messing about, as always.

It's too hot outside, so more digital.

>Is it because i bought some chinese cheap shit

Usually this is the case. A lot of the time, cheap brushes and fountain pens with their included ink with either bleed straight through paper or dry up quickly within the pen and/ or on the bristles, after a short time of not using it. I usually look up reviews and try to find showcase videos, before buying new stuff

>Is there some special care I'm not paying attention to?

Probably not, most art brand brushes and fountain pens, like from Pilot, Sakura, and Pentel (currently using their pocket brush pen), are pretty sturdy and reliable, especially when the bristles of a brush are synthetic or the fountain pen's feed system isn't subject to clogging.

What kind of pen is that? The way how it fades midway through strokes makes the drawings look very appealing.
