Lately, I've been experimenting in Art Journal - a playlist on my channel - with fantasy art. I find that a fine point, water-resistant ink pen, helps me define smaller works of art that depict a scene. I am used to bigger paper, bright color, simpler shapes, so I found that outlining the drawing first, kept my paintbrush on track of my original idea. During this 'learning process' I found that the words permanent ink don't always mean that you can spritz water over the ink pen's line, or douse it with a pigment filled brush. In fact, sometimes the same line of pens' different colors react differently to the same kinds of tests. Before you try painting over a carefully inked drawing, be sure to have tested your pens. I have tested these two and shared the results in a video.
