I used to use Sailor Kiwakuro ink for my watercolor sketches, but one time I had them smudging my sketches like hell (maybe because of the paper quality? I have no idea tho) and ruined my sketches, I have since switched to Platinum Carbon Ink! People warn about this ink because it cloggs up the pen faster than the regular ink, but so far, I am and my pens are doing fine!
Now, I didn't know about this but Platinum also have Sepia Carbon Ink!
One day I was talking to one of my stationary goods nerd friend and was talking about pen and ink. I said to him Platinum Carbon Ink works really nice for me and I wish they had Sepia ink, then the nerd friend said "Eh? they DO carry Sepia ink". I was like wooow!!
So, I ordered right away on my iPhone and the very next day they delivered this beautiful Sepia ink!!
As I have read on its review, the color isn't really Sepia-sepia, but more like a lighter brown. I would say Chocolaty Brown. Which I don't mind. I filled my Lamy Vista with this ink and drew above sketch. Since I am used to using very black carbon ink (with bent nib calligraphy pen which creates very thinck line) this very light brown thin lines feel a bit too weak? But you can always sketch lighter subject, something you don't want to have thick lines or defined lines, such as food sketch and/or flower sketches?
This is another example with the sepia ink.
