This is very nice, well done. 👍

Which ink are you using?
What tool are you using for the line art? A fountain pen, dip pen or something else?

I also use ink often, somebody could claim that Iˋm a ink addict (came from the fountain pen collecting hobby to the drawing hobby)
For my line art I currently usually use Rohrer & Klingner Zeichentusche (drawing ink) and a dip pen and Ím curious what others use.

Thank you ^^
About the ink, I'm honestly not sure since it's really old and russian (I can't read or understand russian language) all I know that's it's black, waterproof and used to be used for writing by my old folks  For painting I use a simple "horse" endorsing ink without oil. 
And for the line art - a dip pen (as the one in a pic, it's also quite old).
 

Nice, I used to use gel pens before but once I tried out drawing with ink and a dip pen, it's my preferred medium now

Thanks for the quick and detailed info 😄

You use a similar setup as I do, I expected a dip nib looking at your artwork, lines drawn with a dip nib and „real“ bottled ink imho have much more life in it, they just look different than ordinary Fineliner ones, this can be seen.

Bottled ink imo has also the advantage that it does not loose it‘s brilliance when erasing underlying sketch lines, Fineliner lines getting easily dull and grey.

Your gallery is awesome!
