Lately I got myself new ink and it’s awesome. Why I didn’t figure this out earlier is anyone’s guess because this is actually the brand manga artists use.

The Deleter ink I used before was this unpredictable crap that needed diluting with water and even then it clogged the nib like a motherfucker. Needless to say inking was kinda tedious, but I was committed to the manga-style lineart and didn’t want to give it up.

I’m one of those people who say “expensive tools won’t make you a good artist” but if you work with ink and nibs, GET GOOD INK.

I still get neck pain from inking though, no matter how I set up the paper or myself. That’s still a problem I need to figure out. But things are good now, I can work on Phantomland a little faster than before and I’m happy about it.
