Deleter Manga Ink - White 2

The vendor is SUPER quick! It only took about a week when it said it would take a month..!Great product; my favorite medium to fix my inking mistakes.For those wanting to buy, the Deleter White 2 is thick, almost gouache-like consistency. I add a bit of product into a separate container with a bit of water to thin it out. Do not add water directly into the jar of Deleter because it will eventually mold (trust me!).

I am constantly seeking out new white paints to use in drawing. This is perhaps the best out there today. Thin enough to paint over black ink (I use indelible black Yasutomo sumi), easy to apply further coats of black over the dried white paint. One caveat--it dries quickly, so test your speed and brush strokes before use.

Very opaque. It's too thick to use with a nib though, it needs to be applied with a brush. If it had a consistency more like india ink, even if it were a little less opaque, it would suit me better.

Excellent for fixing inking mistakes and then inking over the fix. Many other brands crumble or mix under the second pass of ink. This brand holds up.

I got White 2. It looks thick but when applied it's actually thin. It's brighter than the page but when scanned it doesn't matter. Just make sure to put a good amount on otherwise the scanner light will still pick up your mistakes.

I use this to cover mistakes. Once it dries you can draw right over it, but you do have to let it dry and you don’t want to use too much. It’s much better than whiteout because it’s thinner. Also you can do splatter against a black area by dipping your brush in it and smacking the handle against your wrist while aiming the bristles at the page. Make sure the black ink is dry before you do this.-Nathyn Brendan MastersNight Phoenix Press

Really good

I love this stuff dearly but there are a few things you need to keep in mind while using it. First, the packaging is deceptively counter-intuitive. Make sure you keep the little foam seal between the product and the cap. In fact, glue it in place. You gotta keep the airtight seal cuz otherwise the ink will dry up over time and turn into a nasty brick. Second, add a bit of water to the ink. Not a lot, maybe enough to add a millimeter or so of height. Don't mix it in either. Just let it sit on top of the ink.The difference in densities will keep the layers separate, provided you don't go shaking it up, and the purpose for all of this is twofold. The first being that the water forms a protective layer to keep it from the open air, which prolongs the life of the ink, and the second is for thinning it out, in case you wanna use it with a dip pen. If you want the more opaque ink, just use a toothpick or some other similar tool (not your brush, not unless you wanna keep buying brushes) to dig some of the thicker ink out from under the surface to put on a palette or something. Also, the ink isn't volatile, but I personally prefer to keep the jar closed as often as I can get away with. Make sure to tip up the ink with a few drops of water to keep the layer consistent. You don't want it to get too thick or too watery. This is nice to use with one of those palettes with the surface that stays moist. This goes doubly so if you're clumsy you don't wanna have any unfortunate accidents. Being water soluble doesn't make it any less of a bitch to get out of hardwood.Luckily, no matter how dried up this stuff gets it is never truly 'ruined'. If you're willing to finagle it you can use up every hard, cracked pebble of this ink. However, it's much easier and nicer to prevent from drying in the first place than it is to nurse it back to usability so keep your eye on it. Resist the urge to shake the bottle after you've put in that little layer of water. Not only could this exacerbate drying out but it would also ruin whole two separate layers thing you'd have going on. I mean, there are certainly worse problems on the planet but you might wanna keep that measure of control over your opacity. Also, I find that it dries up faster if you shake frequently. The first time I used this stuff I shook it before each use and a few months down the line this hard clump had formed in the bottom of the bottle. No idea what really caused it, but I banked on the shaking since I've seen similar things happen with liquid frisket.But you do what you want. It's your Deleter ink.Sorry if my review makes this sound like some fickle ink dragon. It's way simpler to use and a really high quality, versatile art supply.
