Inking Materials used by William McAusland
From left to right: 1. Ink water (brush cleaning water eventually becomes a grayscale wash), 2. White-Out Mix ( 50% gesso / 50% white acrylics, used to correct ink errors and then re-draw over), 3. India Ink (Winsor & Newton),  4. Spray bottle (Mist to moisten drying ink in  tray, or apply interesting but often random effects to drying ink on paper), 5. Plastic ink tray (the above shown comes from a pack of batteries, can be washed or thrown out. Sticky tack on bottom holds tray on drawing table or my new inking shelf), 6. painters low-tac-tape, 7. assorted brushes, 8. Micron Pigma pens 08, 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 005 and finally, the three 005 pens taped together have damaged or worn tips, but together they form a stipple-group pen, sued to apply grain in a random pattern quickly.
