inktober starting soon!
-
I'm doing it. I'm just going to continue with my 100 Superheroes challenge and do all October's by hand instead of digital.
-
Only thing (well not the only thing they all might really suck) I'm worried about is finding a good white acrylic pen to use. I finish all my digital inks off with white strokes to add highlights and get some cool effects. I've used two or three different pens and a couple different inks and haven't found anything that covers over ink very well without fading and it showing through. Anyone have any suggestions?

@evilrobot Have you tried these?
Sakura 37488 3-Piece Gelly Roll Blister Card Medium Point Gel Ink Pen Set, White
http://amzn.to/2dFy40J@Jake-Parker (http://mrjakeparker.com/tools) and Kevin Keele (http://beawesome.blogspot.com/), amongst others, use this. I'd like it to be a little more immediately opaque than it is, but perhaps it might suffice for what you need
-
@evilrobot Or have you tried this? (I don't have this but @Jake-Parker lists it as an option in the "tools" portion of his site: http://mrjakeparker.com/tools)
Deleter Manga Ink - White

@QuietYell Thanks just ordered both. I'll give them a shot.
-
@evilrobot I hope they work for you!

Just a heads up on the subject of the white ink and paint I've tried these two products and I haven't had any luck with them so might think twice before buying

This is my first year doing Inktober. I just found out about it about 3 months ago when I discovered Jake Parker's Youtube channel. I've been trying to focus on improving with ink this year and found it looking for inking videos....goldmine

Just bought a bunch of fun stuff at the art store can't wait to start got some watercolor stuff had to explain to my wife why that one little paint brush cost $30.00....
-
@evilrobot I just bought Dr. PH Martin's bleed proof white. I have never used white ink and I mainly go tit for mistake cover ups. I haven't used it yet. Hopefully it works! Have you tried it? I wonder what you thought of it if you did.
-
@QuietYell Oh, thanks!
-
It hasn't worked great for me. It seems really watery and after I use it it fades and the black shows through again. I'm going to try leaving the top off and drying it out some. But then I'm guessing it will be too thick to work on my dip pens.
