Hi Teoh! I love your blog and work. What sort of paper do you recommend to use with waterproof inks?
I bought the SketchINK Lotte since so many say its very fast drying and waterproof; however after testing, the only paper where it acted (mostly) waterproof was regular copy paper. Some of the paper I tested with included: Arches 300 gsm watercolor (one of the worst offenders!), Moleskin Art and Moleskin watercolor sketchbooks, Canson Mixed Media, and some other drawing papers. I waited a few minutes for the first tests and then an hour for the second with no difference.
Copy paper isn't ideal because I can't use watercolor over the top of a sketch. Any recommendations? Or is my ink possibly defective/not truly waterproof?
