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!!)
