this is true - I should do more with ink myself. Some of my best drawings were done with a dip pen. My tool of choice is pencil, but all the way, not for plotting or sketching. I use kneaded erasers and electric erasers for special effects, but not to undo something. I paint with acrylics also, and when they are dry, they are permanent, like, almost: you can reconstitute them with alcohol and thus wipe them off, but disturbing the layers is not the best idea, it shows.

My tool of choice was pencil for a long while as well, only recently have I gotten in to ink. I really enjoy deep blacks and contrast between line work and empty space, so ink is really scratching that itch for me. I haven't done much painting with acrylic but it always seemed to have the same effect of standing behind the marks you make because of it's quick drying nature of the paint.
