Set Ink
I got a pen and ink set from my art teacher, but I can't get it to work? What am I doing wrong?
I dip it in the ink, I put it on the paper and I try to draw a line, but it just kind of scratches the page but I hardly makes an ink mark at all, Im not pressing hard because my teacher told me not to do that. I love pen and ink drawings and I would really lke to try it but its just not working.
oh, yeah its really old, she gave it to me cuz they dont use them in school anymore
The nib of the pen often has to be "broken in " to your style of writing. The angle that you hold the pen also affects the contact area of the nib on the paper. A new nib often has a film of oil or grease on it to prevent rust in storage - this could be preventing the ink from clinging to the metal. Clean the nib with a detergent or non oily solvent, experiment with different writing angles and your pen should soon work fine - assuming its not damaged.
