The title says it all. I made a completely new softer, smoother black that works great for black and grey. It's called Bluebird Black Ink!
I also have new pens that are great for drawing directly onto the skin.
See them both at Waverlycolor.com.
Thanks for checking them out!

Order placed Bill! Stoked for using the Bluebird Black!
Awesome! I used to use Waverly DB exclusively, but as I mostly do bng, I ended up switching. Looks like I might have to switch back, cheers again Bill
so how much lighter is the bluebird than the dark black, or if I was premixing my own washes would i use the same formula as far as ink to water/alcohol?
It's more softer than lighter. It's a completely different black pigment. You would probably adjust a little to Bluebird if you were using Dark Black. Thanks!
Dropped an order today myself. Question Bill, the pens how do they compare to the Saltwater pens?
Waverly Pens have a barrel and are designed to stay on the skin longer than regular ball point pens ( as long as you clean, shave and hit the skin with a little alcohol to remove oil and residue.) They have a med. carbide tip. I know mine are a little thinner but that's how I designed them.
Putting mu order in tomorrow cheers bill:D
Bill, are the particle sizes smaller, which makes this smooth? If they are I'm wondering about migration, or blowout. I'd like your thoughts on this subject anyway =]
Particle size doesn't have anything to do with it. Migration and blowout is associated with blacks that have TOO much pigment in an ffort to be mega-black. This is a completely different black pigment that has a slightly different tone.
