Very Nice! I like this. I like using a Uniball Signo bit.18 for my drawings. They are waterproof and will not bleed. I have only found them at www.jetpens.com I really like these pens for drawing.

my refridgerator looks like this too! I should take a picture! I am intrigued with your process...what kind of paper did you print on that you added watercolor to after? dime!

¡hey hey hey!... what a pleasure having you over at my place.
thankyou so much for your comment.
i'm trying hard to keep up the drawing.
your sketch is great... and i love your watercolors... i'm a bit afraid to do watercolor(mostly i've done pencil).
every time i come over to your place i get excited and leave with this nice sensation and saying to myself "i'm gonna do watercolor... ¡someday!"
hope you come back to visit me... it's very encouraging, it means a lot when you get feedback on your work.
thankyou so much
cheers

I really love the brightness of that ink and watercolor! And what a 'familiar' looking refrig. :) Another piece of art.

This is a very nice sketch! It looks homey and inviting, bright and sunny. And the corner asks for detail which you've done brilliantly...now I wonder what would be hiding inside that fridge? I dare you to tell us...

Great drawing! Try using a waterproof pen - you can use watercolour on top of it and it will not wash at all.

Fabulous little sketch, full of interest!
'Noodlers' ink is waterproof if it's fountain pen you are wanting to use, if not a pigment liner size 0.1 gives a good, waterproof line.

Thanks for all your comments and advice. The thing with this sketch is that I didn't plan to colour it, that's why I used liquid ink pen, but when it was "finished" I decided to add a little colour so I did all that process as I used to long ago. I would like to get and try all these materials you've suggested, I LOVE TRYING NEW MEDIUMS and materials. Some time ago I found some markers called "PIZZINI DRAWING PEN". They don't bleed/run and they are which i normally use when sketching then adding WC. They say pigmente ink and are from japan. I buy 0.2 and 0.3. Anyway I'll try to get these ink and pens you tell me though not much of this stuff can be got here... THANKS AGAIN.

Great sketch and great idea about make a copy of the sketch so the ink won't run.. I've had that problem and I'm such a beginner I didn't know what to do about that issue.
