With this alcohol-based paint it was just the easiest way to get the fine lines I wanted.

The paint would clog up a fountain pen / technical pen pretty much immediately, and refillable felt-tip pens (like for paint pens) would be thicker than I wanted.

Yeah, I’m an artist on mastodon.art. Not a huge fan their heavy moderation and the drama it creates. I’d love to switch instances, but hate that previous posts don’t travel with you.

Thanks!

I think one factor is I generally don’t use a ruler/straightedge — just freehand it. So every line has varying degrees of imperfection.

That’s super cool! I’ll try and check it out if I’m ever in the area.
