Black works really well with bright colours and for some artworks getting the blackness right is the different between making a picture pop or not. This softness allows for slight line variation that imbues drawings with subtle character, though we caution against pressing too hard–some ultra-fine tip sizes will be bent out of shape by heavy pressure. This balance of flexibility and hardness lets them form consistent lines while being used at natural writing angles.

Many people use other media, such as watercolors and alcohol-based markers, to color in fineliner art.The Stabilo Point 88 also worked really well but did feather a tiny bit where the marker was applied thickly. If you want to make sure your work lasts for years to come, choose fineliners that are waterproof to protect against spills, light- or fade-resistant to guard against exposure to sunlight, and acid-free or pH-neutral to prevent them from reacting with paper. Again, I have I’ve drawn a series of different marks with the fineliners and gone over them with the ink.
