Dear art communtiy can you recommend me a white pen/marker that will work on water based markers.
I have a white acrylic marker but its getting empty also the flow of ink wasnt consistant.
Also can you recommend me a waterbrush that is cheaper than faber castell or pentelˋ

I need a better white pen.
Every time i ask for recommendations i get told sakura jelly roll, but I’ve gone through several and they have all sucked.
Does anyone know of something better?

Yes, I did a similar drawing recently. But I'm playing with a new ink in today's #inkyDays drawing.
I've added a bunch of photos and more words than usual to this month's post for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:

If you're an artist that draws on a tablet, and that tablet isn't an ipad or wacom, what do you draw on?
I've had my ipad and apple pencil for almost 6 years now, and it works fine, but eventually, it will stop getting security updates and/or will break, and I will need to get something else. What do you use to draw? I don't want to buy more apple products, so I'm looking for something android or linux based with a good stylus (or even just a tablet you recommend and a stylus you recommend for that tablet).
I prefer to draw on the screen directly, so I'm not interested in a drawing pad that doesn't have a screen. It'd be great if the drawing pad didn't require a computer, but it's ok if it requires a phone. 
Thought it was funny that the one thing I keep organized are my drawing bags. You should show your kit too :)
First photo is my very portable and lazy dry drawing kit. Full of brush pens. Second photo is my ink painting kit.
Not pictured are my calligraphy brushes that are drying right now.
