Complete guide: Fusion drawing brush Opaque Blue Dark 30 ml
You are looking at a professional drawing ink from the Fusion range, in a dark blue-gray shade with high opacity, supplied in a 30 ml bottle. It is intended exclusively for drawing — sketches, art projects, and practice on synthetic skin — not for tattooing on human skin. The Opaque Blue Dark shade is the fourth of the 5-color Opaque Blue series, designed for deep shadows and contrast areas in graded work. The water-based formula uses organic pigments, is 100% vegan, and contains no fillers.
How to use
- Shake the bottle vigorously for about one minute before each use so that the pigment is completely homogenized with the water base.
- Pour only the amount you need into a separate container (cup or disposable cap) — never work directly from the bottle.
- Close the bottle immediately after dispensing and wipe the nozzle if it gets dirty to prevent contamination of the contents.
- Use the ink for sketches, art drawings, or practice on synthetic skin, building up intensity gradually in layers.
- For natural gradations, combine it with lighter shades from the same Opaque Blue series (from Extra Light to Extra Dark).
- At the end, discard any remaining ink in the cup — never pour it back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly closed at temperatures between 10 and 32°C, protected from direct sunlight.
Tips from us
- Test the shade on your working surface (paper or synthetic skin) before the actual work — as it is a dark tone, the fourth out of five in the series, it's easier to add intensity than to remove it.
- If you are working with blue-gray gradations, also consider the neighboring shades from the Opaque Blue series — the series is built precisely for light-to-dark transitions.
- Insufficient shaking is the most common cause of inconsistent color in water-based inks — make shaking for one minute a habit, not an option.
- Always work with disposable cups and clean hands or gloves — even for drawing, good hygiene extends the life of the ink in the bottle.
- The bottle has controlled dispensing — dose in small drops; the high pigment concentration means a little ink covers a lot.

Frequently asked questions
Can I tattoo with this ink?▾
No. The product is sold exclusively as a drawing ink, and the official description clearly states that using it for purposes other than drawing is at the consumer's sole risk. For tattoos on human skin, only use inks explicitly sold for that purpose. This ink is suitable for sketches, art projects, and practice on synthetic skin.
What exact shade is Opaque Blue Dark and where does it fit in the series?▾
It is a dark blue-gray with high opacity and depth. It is the fourth position in the 5-color Opaque Blue series, which goes from lightest to darkest: Extra Light, Light, Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark. In gradation work, its role is to cover deep shadows and areas of strong contrast.
Can I use it alone or do I need the whole series?▾
It can be used on its own as a versatile dark blue-gray. However, the Opaque Blue series was designed as a gradation system, so it achieves its full potential in combination with the other shades, for natural light-to-dark transitions. The manufacturer also mentions integration with the Opaque Gray series for more complex palettes in portrait work.
What does the formula contain and is it suitable for vegans?▾
Yes, the formula is 100% vegan. It is a water-based ink with organic pigments, distilled water, witch hazel, and alcohol, with no fillers — according to the manufacturer, every drop is concentrated color. The product is made in the USA.
How do I properly maintain the ink so it doesn't spoil?▾
Three simple rules: shake it vigorously for about a minute before each use, always dispense into separate cups without pouring back any surplus, and close the bottle immediately after use. Store it at 10–32°C, protected from direct sunlight. Wipe the nozzle if it gets dirty — the controlled-dispensing bottle helps precisely to prevent contamination.
Why should I choose a blue-gray tone instead of a neutral gray for my drawings?▾
The visible blue component adds a chromatic dimension that pure neutral grays do not offer — shadows gain more atmosphere and depth, an effect especially appreciated in portrait and realism work. If you want both registers, the Opaque Blue series (blue-gray tones) and the Opaque Gray series (neutral grays) are designed to work together.
