cheaper suggestions for inktober
1. refillable brush pens
you can get packs like these for pretty cheap on Amazon. You can fill them with whatever kind of ink you want. I like them because they’re portable, clean, and really versatile. If you get a 3 pack, I’d suggest filling one with waterproof ink, one with water soluble ink, and one with water. Or you try filling them up with various colors! I find it way more cost efficient than getting one of the pentel brush pens because their refill cartidges can be kind of expensive.
2. Sharpies
Again, Amazon is your friend here. You can chisel an edge off with an x-acto knife to get more dynamic lines.
3. literally any pen you already have.
Ballpoint pens. Gel pens. Crayolas. Anything. It’s free and you really don’t need expensive art materials to participate in inktober.
Have fun and get spooky
I’ve tried the second set of brushes and they’re fine, but that brand up top literally fell apart on me the first time I used them. The bristles fell out in chunks and ruined my inks. Maybe I got a bad pack or whatever, but I wanted to toss in a warning, especially for people who don’t have money to waste!
oh boost! I don’t have experience with those brushes so I didn’t know. I have a set of pentel water brush pens that I found in my mom’s scrapbooking stuff, and they’re really nice. I know they run a little pricier but I work at Hobby Lobby and you can get them 40% off if you have the coupon from their website.
