Tactility is a more common word that describes *probably* the same concept you’re trying to get to. I say probably cause I’m not a mind reader so if you don’t think it’s the right word then that’s totally fine 👍 just playing thesaurus over here lol

wow! that's interesting--so they gave you the entire large ink tube to take home, or did you bring home like a mini version to experiment with? I've only ever used riso ink with the printer :-) I think if you're using it with a brush or applying in some other way, the main thing is to use paper that is absorbent (so doesn't have any coating!)

So lovely 🥰

Love you illustration style 😍😍, may I ask what canvas size did you use for this zine and what brush/pencil??
