How do you keep your ink lines that dark? When I use ink and paint it with watercolours my lines always nearly vanish or look grey D:

I should also mention that I'm inking with a quill dip pen and ink from a bottle like this: [link]
Which the ink you use for those, India ink and the like, react differently with other mediums than when you ink pictures with like a Copic pens or other drawing ink pens. India ink is thicker (like after have drawn a picture with it you can touch the picture and it will feel like braille where the ink is when using India ink) and watercolors won't cover over the lines as easily (paint with thicker watercolor and yes, you still can).
My watercolors are not the most expensive brands in the work either - which may have something to do with it too (I actually want to get some nicer brands that have some spiffy colors and effects). But, I also do keep paper towel and some q-tips nearby so if I get any paint ON some lines too thickly that I don't want on the line I use those tools to clean it up before it dries.
I don't have expensive watercolours either XD I still think it doesn't always depend on the brand...
But thank you so much for the reply

Dreamweaver - were we talking about doing an art exchange??? Because now I can NOT remember. I feel that SOMEWHERE I should have info on a gargoyle character of yours - but I have lost it!
