dip pen nibs (Patreon)

I've been trying my hand again at inking with nibs and was getting very frustrated by the process (sometimes it was fine, sometimes all blotchy and unresponsive), and after many tries I now realize it's the cheap ass ink I bought that makes it all so tedious :D

I now realize I have never traditionally inked with GOOD black ink. It's always been the cheapest stuff, and never satisfying. NOW I UNDERSTAND!

Big thanks to my partner (also an artist) who passed me her better ink and different types of papers to help out u_u💙

(conclusion: don't buy the french Rougier&Plé ink if you use dip pen nibs!!)
