Kuretake ZIG Cartoonist Mangaka Opaque Liner - 0.7mm
Description
Designed with illustrators firmly in mind, the Kuretake ZIG Cartoonist Mangaka Opaque Liner is a quietly powerful tool for confident line work—especially where darker papers or layered techniques come into play. Made by Kuretake, this liner delivers vivid, opaque colour that remains crisp and visible even on deep-toned surfaces.
Unlike many liners that falter when pushed, this one behaves admirably. Once dry, the ink allows alcohol-based markers to be applied over the top without bleeding, and it happily accepts layering for highlights and corrections. Lightfast and resistant to fading, it’s a dependable choice for work you’d like to last longer than your average sketchbook page.
