during the big declutter I came across a bottle of Indian Ink so had a play with it. I’m not very fond of it to draw with because of the hard black and the way the quick drying doesn’t allow for spreading washes through line and blurring but decided to have a play. The washes were put on separately.
Not the greatest drawing but really did pinpoint for me the difference in handling this and acrylic inks. I really prefer the acrylics as they allow for more subtle transitions and marks.
How about you?

February 17, 2019 at 4:59 pm #783956I honestly couldn’t say, it’s been far too long since last I used India Ink. I really like the direct bold lines of the branches here, so it would probably be pretty fantastic for me to use… if I didn’t have 3 drawers of art supplies all begging me to use them right now.
