The problem is any of the typical inks I've looked at don't seem to be alcohol proof, and I'm having a hard time in general getting that kind of specifics on the inks, so I was wondering if maybe any of you knew of inks I could get that are alcohol proof and available in the US. Recently I've been really interested in doing the line-work for my art with my dip pen, since I think after all the lettering practice I definitely have more control over line thickness with the dip pen then any multiliner ink pen I've ever used, which tend to be one size anyway and I just have to swap between to get the different thicknesses I might want.
I like to draw along the lines of the 'manga' style, and when I draw traditionally (not digitally), I like to color using copic markers which are alcohol based.
So beyond being a beginner calligrapher, I'm a self-taught artist.
