Thank you for your encouraging comment!
As for the b/w pieces, I used different stuff:
Ikari: A/4 copy paper and 'custom-made' fude-pen (=I filled it with ordinary blue fountain-pen ink, that's available in Hungary)
On: #7 brush, self-ground sumi, and thin wrapping paper - the one which you wrap bread with at the supermarket or sometimes flowers at the flower-shop. Hanshi is not available here, and even if it was, I just couldn't afford it...
For Kansha, I used thesame stuff as for On, as far as I remember I painted them the same day, but for this I was using the very tip of the same thick brush.
These days I'm using this thin wrapping paper more and more, it's even cheaper than the standard A/4 copy paper, and - to a certain extent - closer to hanshi in performance.
I always use solid ink-sticks, that's cheaper than the liquid stuff.
I love your art, especially your flowering branches and the pictures on nature! I have always admired sumi-e artists, it's not easy to draw beautifully anyway, but it's even harder with a brush! No eraser, no gudelines, just you, the paper and the ink, that sticks there right the moment you touch the paper.
Thank you for sharing your art, sumi-e is very rare here at dA, and it gives me inspiration!
Keep up good work,
Cheers
Feri.

I have yet to try grinding the inks, but I hope I enjoy doing it as much as you do
Thank you for your kind words, I have an admiration for shodo artists too, I feel that in many ways, writing with a brush and making it beautiful is a feat, one that I've never quite been able to manage
Keep up the good work too!
You sure gotta try grinding ink, it's not only fun, but also enhances the feeling of originality - you know that you had worked for your ink, you can thicken it the way you want and it's your responsibility to grind it dark enough. So grinding is fun!
However, I've just tried bottled inks, we use those at school because only few of us have stones. I like those as well for they are easy to handle!
