Gorgeous! Every single video you do is so informative and helpful. Thank you again!
I never thought to try to paint with fountain pen ink! Very cool idea Teoh! Thanks for sharing!
Teoh, I have this ink and use in several ink pens like Lamy. I had no idea we could refill a brush pen. Thanx for this.
Excellent!!! I have not used grey ink but I just got a bottle , and after watching your video, I cannot wait to try it:-) Great sketch!
You always make such clear, easy to follow videos. Thank you for the encouragement to all of us who are trying to improve our skills,
I learned about Noodler’s Lexington Gray from one of your previous videos. It is my most favorite ink to use. I’m going to experiment with more monochromatic paintings~ I really love your technique!
You should try doing one of these gray paintings except with one or more buildings or objects done in color to draw attention to it. And perhaps instead of black sketch lines perhaps use a red or blue or other color. Since you're using ink instead of graphite there shouldn't be any issue with experimenting. I've seen this done occasionally when browsing people's sketches. Might be fun. Thanks for these tips and advice Teoh. Great sketch too! 👍 😄
Wonderful video! I just started practicing with ink and watercolor and your videos are my #1 source for learning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love this ink, I got the largest bottle available for my watercolor drawings. I also live in the same city as the real USS Lexington! Love your videos!
Your videos are so nice and concise
Thanks 😁
I really enjoy using Lexington Gray - you provided us with a creative comparison
I love lexington grey! One of my favourite inks to write and draw with. Never thought to do quick tonal studies with it though. :0
More uses for one of my favorite inks! Lovely sketches and excellent tutorial. Thank you!
I have this ink, great idea for new use in my drawings. Thanks!
Very helpful!!
Thanks!
What a great idea! I never would have thought to fill a brush with it. I have always just been drawing with it with my fountain pens. It is very interesting how the colour changes on different papers and with more layers. Great for quick sketches! Thanks for sharing.
So effective in a tonal sketch. I use Lexington Grey for line but haven't thought to use it in a wash - I always dilute black for greys. As you say, LG is pretty neutral. It looks great with black lines and and a couple of grey tones. Thanks for sharing your ideas, I always enjoy them.
One of my favourite inks! I filled a water brush with it but it kept leaking, this is a great solution
love those sketches looks very good.
COOL !! Thanks for sharing ! Maybe u could try it on strathmore toned gray paper and along with the white it will pop.
You can also use a light grey to very loosely block out a basic shape / design, then go back in with black ink on top to refine it. It can be a faster way to prototype ideas.
Great demo! This helped me come up with ideas with making some grays with the noodler ink
super cool! you are a master.
Love your channel. I was looking for a faster way to do studies and you have so many great techniques and ideas.
Nice sketch ! With many layers of this ink you could have a darker tone gray each time with a good paper... to avoid another brushpen. 👍🏻
Layers don't make subsequent layers much darker.
aaah ? Ok Teoh, thank you for this information, it’s interesting.

Thank you for this video, I did not know this was possible. I would love to see a video where you combine Noodler's Lexington Gray with watercolour!
Awesome!! Thanx!
Thanks :-D
❤❤learning so much you're so good at art
Thank you so much 😊
very useful to me ,thank you teoh
Awesome video Teoh! I have Lexington grey, but I usually end up just diluting black inks instead. May I ask why you would choose Lexington grey over dilute black ink?
You can as well. But not all India ink will have a neutral tone. Some are warm, some are cool. Lexington Gray is surprisingly neutral. That and it's more convenient because you don't have to mix. The gray is always consistent
Man I wish I could draw in the care free way u do...
Great idea to fill the water brush with the ink!!! So easy and such interesting results!! Thank you so much!! What is link showing how to refill the Pentel brush pen ??
Thanks in advance !
Here's the refilling video th-cam.com/video/H-Go2m85jkI/w-d-xo.html
Wow! This just adds new possibilities! Would you use a Kerutake brush pen? I don't have a brush pen and want to buy one.
I have Kuretake. It's more for drawing. Pentel Colour Brush is more suitable for painting because bristles are longer
Hi! Do you have other tonal studies videos? I love your work. Need to learn how to use tone in my sketches. Thank you!
I don’t remember if I have any videos on that
This morning I was looking for sketching with Lamy fountain pens with waterproof ink, accented by grey. I am so pleased to find your channel. It's great to know about Lexington grey. Are there other grey inks you recommend? Where I live they don't have lexington. You recommend waterproof, correct? I love your sketch/painting. Thank you!
Thanks Hyd India
Great explanation work.! what kind of white ink is that?
Great Vid. Q. why use grey ink? why not just dilute black India ink to the grey tone you require?
You can as well. But not all India ink will have a neutral tone. Some are warm, some are cool. Lexington Gray is surprisingly neutral.
@@teohyc thanks, that's good to know. I'm based in UK and finding ink locally is quite hard. Lexington grey is available at a price, Sailor ink is mostly labeled 'Sailor GENTLE' and the websites I've visited do not go into details about its properties so your channel is a great resource.
Great video. I just ordered a 3oz bottle. Do you feel safe using it in your Pelikan M200 (clogging)? I have an M200 also. If not, I can use a cheaper Platinum Plaisir or Preppy, but prefer the Pelikan.
Noodlers ink is safe for fountain pen
I wonder if I can dilute the ink before I put it in my fountain pen...or would that cause problems?
This ink can be diluted and safe for use in fountain pens
Hello Teoh I was wondering if there is a reason you use Lexington Grey for this tonal study. Have you tried De Atramentis Document grey etc... just wondering .
No particular reason. It's just that I have that bottle that's all.
Thanks! Gonna try it with some of the other grey inks and see if i can have the same results.
@@teohyc Hi Teoh! As a follow-on question, why not use a (diluted, inexpensive) black watercolor for a tonal study? Does ink have some properties that make it a better medium for a tonal study? You've mentioned that layers of ink don't make subsequent layers darker -- that would seem to be a drawback.... Thanks!
@@SmasherBunny You certainly can use diluted black watercolour. It's a personal choice. Note that some black may look warm or cool but when diluted the colour temperature may change. Other blacks may appear patchy when painted. Some have texture, eg Sumi ink, Lunar Black, while others are just flat. You have to find the black that works for you.
@@teohyc Hmmm...I've never noticed any of this about black watercolors, as I basically never use them -- how interesting! Thank you :)
What was the pen you used for the sketch? Btw this brush pen grey technique is awesome. I’ve been looking for an alternative to copic markers
Can't remember the pen. Probably Pelikan M200 since that's my main drawing pen. The ink is one of these www.parkablogs.com/content/waterproof-fountain-pen-inks-drawing
So cool thanks! I really appreciate your help and detailed easy to follow vids. I’ve been learning a lot
What is the tip size of the waterproof pen you use?
It's a Fine
With the ink being waterproof, would you want to avoid using your nice sable paint brush and just use a cheaper synthetic brush instead?
Noodlers Ink is water-based ink so it's not going to damage the bristles.
Wonderful stuff. How does Lexington differ from using a watered down black?
Lexington Gray has a very neutral tone. You can dilute other black inks too. Some will appear warm, or cool. You have to find the right black ink to dilute.
Can you use any water brush eg. Holbein to fill any water soluble ink as Pentel color brush pen?
You can. Just be careful of leaks.
Nice video, thanks. Are other colors available as well?
I've not tried other colours from Noodler's except black, Golden Brown and Lexington Gray
@@teohyc Thank you for your quick & informative response.
Can you recommend theory books for illustration??
Start first with "Keys to Drawing" by Bert Dodson. You can search Amazon too. There are many books, and reviews.
Thank you for your reply. I really enjoy watching your videos, and the way you explain is really easy to understand.
Is that a Noodlers fountain pen you are using?
It's a Pelikan M200
