First I was in love with Versafine, then I discovered gamsol and Copics and Versafine was no longer going to work. Then I fell in love with Pallette noir and realized that my relationship with Versafine was just a passing crush. But now that I've discovered Momento Tuxedo Black, I've discovered what true love is all about. This stuff is juicy!! And so very black! And I can color right away with my Copics with no leaching or smearing -- even with flesh tones! Ahhh, true love at last...
