Drawing Ink Pelikan 221135 30ml Black White

Pelikan 221135 drawing ink in the 30 ml bottle is a pigment-based black ink formulated for drawing, illustration and calligraphy. The fluid has a balance of flow and viscosity that supports smooth pen, brush or dip-pen application and is intended to dry relatively quickly to reduce smudging. The product is suitable for use on a variety of papers and drafting surfaces where stable dark black lines are required.

Advantages

This drawing ink provides consistent, deep black coverage with good lightfastness and resistance to fading. The formulation supports precise line work and varied stroke thicknesses while maintaining a stable flow in pens and brushes. Quick drying properties reduce the risk of accidental smears, and the compact 30 ml bottle is convenient for studio use or transport.

Suitable for

• Technical and freehand drawing with dip pens and brushes
• Calligraphy and lettering projects
• Illustration, comics and ink washes
• Sketches and detail work on paper and board

Key specifications

• Volume: 30 ml
• Color: black (pigment-based)
• Drying: quick-drying formulation for reduced smudging
• Compatibility: suitable for pens, brushes and dip nibs; designed for paper and illustration board
• Finish: deep matte black when dry

How to use

Shake or stir the bottle gently before use to ensure even pigment suspension. Apply the ink with a dip pen, brush or appropriate fountain pen nib, keeping tools clean to maintain consistent flow. Allow sufficient drying time on the chosen paper; drying speed depends on paper absorbency and layer thickness. Close the bottle tightly after use to prevent drying out and store upright in a cool, dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the ink on a scrap of the same paper to check flow, absorbency and drying time. Use a light touch when using fine nibs to avoid overloading lines, and clean tools with water immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
