And, in a happy nod to Pride Month, I went for a rainbow of inks. I made an effort to create doodles that have both standard lines (to show how writing might look) and larger, filled-in areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any human, I made mistakes as I worked through the 15 skirmishes. Since I want the focus to be on the inks, I&#8217;ve edited out the mistakes using Photoshop for the &#8220;final&#8221; image. However, for transparency, I&#8217;ve also included the &#8220;original&#8221; version without those edits. I&#8217;ve done my best to edit the ink colors to be true-to-life, but some of them were exceptionally difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each skirmish includes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a photo taken in white light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>that same photo with mistakes removed (this wasn&#8217;t needed on all comparisons)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the &#8220;perfected&#8221; photo edited to highlight which ink is where on the page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a photo taken in yellow light<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you enjoy this skirmish series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"pink\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pink: Anderillium Rosy Maple Moth Pink and Pilot Iroshizuku Hana Ikada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may recall that I already <a href=\"\/blog\/inktober-2025-skirmishes-2\/#day3\">booted Hana Ikada<\/a>, but I forgot about that when I chose the comparison color for this set.
