I use normal writing ink, usually I use Parker’s Quick, however unfortunately this ink is not water resistance. It means I can’t use water colour to fill illustrations.

I’ve been searching a good quality water resistance ink for long time, sadly the most major water resistance inks’ textures are quite thick, with thick ink I can’t draw very fine thin lines.
However I recently bought a quite smooth water resistance ink from Japan.

As my experiment, I decided to draw my precious little fur ball – pug girl called ‘Gyoza’. Gyoza loves autumn, she never gets bored to chase falling leaves. As the result, I still feel this water resistance ink is slightly too thick for me, but am very happy using it occasionally.
