  • Why are dip pens popular among artists when we have many modern alternatives? Dip pens are very responsive to pressure and are a fun tool for different line weights, helping you create striking drawings. Have you used dip pens before? What have you learnt that others could benefit from?

  • I love using dip pens, it helps me draw more loosely, I like to add watercolor afterwards, what paper would you recomend for this. thank you

    • I would recomend smooth bristol paper or hot press watercolour paper. They both work well with dip pens. :)

  • And you get to choose your ink with dip pens. I use Higgins India ink because it’s waterproof and dark. Way better than Speedball

  • Question for you: I have W&N Indian Ink, does the ink ever get too think or dry out too much, how do you manage this?

    @joanskrzypczak5828@joanskrzypczak58283 ай бұрын
    • I find that if my ink has dried it's probably because I did not screw on the cap properly. Or the cap was full with dried ink and did not close properly - try giving your cap a rise sometimes. Other than that, ink has a shelf life as well, if left unused, it gets thick and gunky.

  • I don’t draw but I use dip pens when I write. I use a Pilot iro-utsushi dip pen with a medium writing nib. I don’t know why but it’s just hilariously fun to write with a dip pen. 🤣😁

    • Dip pens are more challenging to work with. For me, I guess that's part of the charm.
