whats a good substate for drawing inks..ive been using cheap plain paper and the ink seems to be soaking in and bleeding into everything..ive got a local hobby shop they dont stock much nothing for ab but they do have white a3 boards i think there for water colours would these be better..or is there a better paper.dont want nothing too exspensive as it all ends up in the bin by the time i finish messing it up lol..

Go to an arts shop and get some thin card instead, it will take the ink without seeping. If your after something you can use masking materials on then buy some cold pressed illustration board, its quite expensive at nearly ten pounds for an A1 sheet but its the dogs danglies for illustration work with airbrush.
