Drawing Inks
Drawing Inks encompass a versatile range of dye-based and pigment-based formulas designed for artists, illustrators, and designers who value both precision and creative flexibility. Dye-based inks offer vibrant, transparent color ideal for layering and expressive washes, while pigment-based inks provide waterproof, lightfast performance suited for archival-quality work. Whether used with brushes, dip pens, or technical pens, these inks deliver smooth flow and consistent coverage, making them essential for detailed line work, technical drawing, and dynamic illustration.
