I get a lot of questions at @blakegore about my favorite white #ink since I use it a lot. I simply love how it pops on craft paper. My answer: the Sakura #GellyRoll is second to none. I carry the 10, 08, and 05 Gelly Rolls everywhere because I’m always surprised at how often they’re useful.

This doorway is an example of how I often draw over the #whiteink with other #pens or markers to achieve different colors and textures. I also sometimes smudge the Gelly Roll ink to achieve different effects. Have you ever used white ink? Have any best practices or techniques you’d like to share?

elviramarya @blakegore Dabbing is tough with Sharpies, they seem to dissolve the ink more than the pro pens like Copic. I love to use Microns on top, esp the brush pens for gradient effects. Do you clean the nibs a lot as you work? I find myself doing that on recycled grocery bags on the side of my workspace. That kind of kraft paper gets the gel ballpoints rolling nicely, and then I can see if tip is cleaned of other colors.

elviramarya I am a huuuge fan of Sakura's white gel ink, use it daily and love the 3 different sizes now available. My only wish? IVORY gel ink! Uni Posca's ivory doesn't cut it for me, I want Sakura ivory so I no longer need to layer the white ink with marker to achieve it. Your art and techniques are very inspiring, thanks for sharing here! ?

blakegore @elviramarya That would be nice. Marker on top of white ink is a common approach for me. I just have to be careful b/c alcohol markers sometimes wash away the white ink. I often dab the marker on the ink.

blakegore @mars.mannix This is brown card stock I sourced from a deck of stationary. Loved the color, and the stiff smoothness of the paper makes for more precise ink drawing IMO.

blakegore @myshanonigans The 05 really comes in handy when you’re doing fine details. I’m giving away a package of all three! See my last post to enter. ?

myshanonigans I love the Gelly Roll ink but I didn’t realize it came in different sizes! Yay!! #ohthepossibilities
