Hello again, another quick question--
What kind of pen should I use for the under drawing and what color ink? I've heard different opinions on this. Some people say brown ink instead of black; some people say they use a technical marker/pen instead of the pen nib and dipping ink. Just curious what you use/recommend. Thanks!
Hey John! thanks for a great question. I've got to slip out to the studio to get the info, I'll be back with an answer. Can't remember the brand of ink I used on the last few paintings. I've also got a nifty pen that has indian ink in it already that works great too!
Here's something very close to what I use. I do have a calligraphy pen with various sized nibs. But these felt tip pens work just as well.
The ink must state that it is waterproof. The one that I have is similar, but a different brand and actually states on the pen that it is filled with waterproof India Ink. Brown or black will work fine also.
