I used my new Sailor fountain pen with the caligraphy nib. It came with an ink cartridge, which I used. I found out the hard way that the ink isn't waterproof.
On this sketch, I started out using my watercolors and the ink just ran into the color, changing it to a black version of itself. I thought maybe the ink just wasn't dry, so I gave it some time. But, it still was running and ruining the sketch. I used colored pencils an the rest of it, but unfortunately those 'smile lines' are much too dark and I can't do anything about it. Lesson learned.
