It’s excellent for ink, and that media is never easy to use where there is detail to add – well done! :))))))))))

Thanks Jim. Appreciate your comment, and yes, I knew it would be a challenge to control ink … hence why it’s taken me so long to start playing with it. Think I’m rather hooked now though … Cheers!

Thanks Gary. I too am surprised at how well the combination of ink and drawing pen can be used to capture the detail. It was an experiment, that thankfully worked! Cheers for your comment :-)
