hello everyone! and thank you for the add m(-_-)m
i recently ran into Dougs video and figured this if anyplace would be able to help with trying to learn to make a very particular kind of ink that has been a close kept secret for hundreds of years and is also a dying art(which is a bad combination for me), to be exact the ink is solid sumi ink sticks made in Nara japan(which im not sure which section of this forum would be best to ask about this).
i am a artist and nerd(and borderline hikkikomori) , a artist almost completely in traditional mediums and along the vein of pop surrealism, and a nerd mostly in videogames and animation(along with golden/silver age, and international comics)
sooo... yeah , if you need any kind of recommendations or reference material of the above let me know, ill likely help until you wish you didnt ask >_<
