So when do they become pens?
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Nice blanks John just be careful to colour the tubes on the lighter blanks or the tube will show through.

There are times when a hint of tube showing through actually enhances the blanks. But not often... and rarely by design.
So yeah, that was good advice from Simomatra.
