Bird watching

So, I recently made the discovery that there exists ink that is not black. Yeah, I'm 22 years old, and just now discovered the wonder of colorful ink, I live under a rock. Once upon a time I went to the store to buy another vial of the regular, black stuff, and BY MY STARS; there were vials of red and orange and green and blue and yellow and WHITE ink right next to the black ones! Crazy!
Too bad I didn't have enough money to buy several of them, I really needed the black one (and a new tip for my dipping pen) to be able to continue drawing new pages for the comic, which meant I could only grab one additional item. Oh, the pain!
After a lot of staring, pondering, restless movements and looking like a shoplifter, I finally decided on the blue one! But I'm definitely going to try out the white ink one day soon, I don't even understand how that works and can't stand the mystery.
So yeah, I wanted to try out my glorious new, blue ink right away, so I drew this. But I think I need to thin it out with some water next time, the lines got waaay too dark (almost black, really) in most places, and with the watercolors on top most of the blueish effect got lost somewhere. Still, pretty neat stuff.

Oh and hey, thanks for all the happy birthday-wishes yesterday, you guys really made my day. As did meringue cake, that was heavenly delicious.
