Waterproof Drawing Pens

You can of course draw with any pen, but there are special drawing pens that contain or can use waterproof drawing ink. Waterproof drawing pens are needed where permanance is an issue or where other water-based media are going to be used on the same piece of artwork.

Waterproof inks for drawing are generally pigment inks. In contrast to traditional dye-based inks, they contain tiny particles of colour, or pigment, which bind tightly to paper fibres. Dye-based inks simply stain paper, and can usually be removed, or at least faded, relatively easily by water or other solvents.

Pigment inks are completely impervious to water and many other solvents, and are usually very lightfast - ie. they don't fade when subjected to light over a long period.

These inks are therefore ideal for sketches which will be later filled in with watercolour (line and wash techniques); and for drawings which will be coloured with alcohol-based markers sch as Magic Markers, or Copic Markers. The lines won't run or blur when water or marker is applied.

Most tip sizes and styles are available in black, with a good number of brown or sepia ink pens, and a range of other colours, especially in the excellent Zig Millennium range.

Most of these are disposable pens, with a few traditional steel-nib refillable pens.

Pigment ink tends to be clogging and virtually impossible to flush out if allowed to dry out. For this reason it's not used in fountain pens, but using Platinum's Carbon Ink almost any of our fountain pens can be turned into a waterproof drawing pen - just be aware of the caveats about using it!
