Is the white ink completely opaque? I usually use chalk markers for white highlights on fine liner and ink art but they don't completely cover dark areas. That can lead to interesting optical mixes in itself but I wouldn't mind having an option that just overwrites with pure white.
I recently bought coloured paper to make a one off sign and my pens really popped, but they’re shiny white which is is own effect. I’ve been very into them for a couple of weeks now
I might have to buy some more inks and a dip pen. I currently only own race car green and brushes… so not ideal, but that white looks so good I might have to go shopping

This is beautiful; absolutely love the highlights!
Thank you! I'm always surprised by what a big impact even a little highlight can have.
Seconded! Amazing piece, thanks for sharing, op!
My pleasure, as always!
Holy moly, this is awesome!
Thank you! I had a fantastic reference photo to work from, this lady is extraordinary.
What do you use for the white pen? Is that an acrylic marker pen?
You are is so good!
Thank you so much! This is all dip pen. I use Winsor & Newton ink for both black and white.
I guess you mean this stuff?:

This is what I use: link.
It's a really strong white. I've had to dilute it a bit with water to get it to behave with the dip pen, but I'm really happy with it.
Love it!
