I usually use a waterproof drawing ink, but the little bottle of fountain pen ink I've been using for this inktober is not at all waterproof, which I think is fun, even when the drawings get muddy

@ben My uncle gave me a collection of inks from when he was in art school in the 70s. They still slosh, so I assume they’re still good. I haven’t gotten the courage to address them yet. 🤣

@MissConstrue the fountain pen ink is actually the newest ink I own, from a short-lived "maybe I should write with a fountain pen phase" last year. I'd say give the old inks a try. They're likely still fine, or maybe they have failed in interesting ways.
