Guide & full description
Complete guide: Intenze drawing ink True Black 15ml
A black drawing ink from the Intenze range, delivered in a compact 15 ml bottle, built on the famous True Black formula — the brand's reference black, known for its intensity and depth. It is intended for drawing: project sketches, exercises on paper or synthetic skin, shadow studies, and solid black fills. It caters both to beginning artists who want to work with a dense, predictable black, and to professionals looking for a small testing format or a compact backup in the studio.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use so that the pigment is completely homogenized in the carrier.
- Pour only the necessary amount into a separate container (ink cap or cup) — never work directly from the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining content.
- Close the cap immediately after pouring and wipe the bottle neck with a clean tissue so the ink doesn't dry on the threads.
- Apply the ink with your preferred drawing tool on paper or synthetic skin for practice; the intense black is visible from the first pass.
- For gray tones, dilute the ink in a container with a dilution solution — a 1:1 ratio gives a medium gray, while more diluent produces increasingly lighter grays.
- Always test the diluted shade on a sample before using it in the actual work.
- At the end, discard the remaining ink in the container — never pour it back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly closed, in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Tips from us
- The 15 ml format is ideal as a testing bottle for the True Black formula or as a compact backup next to your main stock — it takes up little space and is easy to carry anywhere.
- The pigment is highly concentrated, so the consumption per surface area is low: pour a little at first and top up as needed to avoid wasting ink.
- Write the date of first opening on the label — it helps you keep track of the bottle's age.
- When diluting for grays, prepare your range of tones in separate cups before you start, so you can work smoothly and consistently.
- Always keep the bottle upright and periodically check that the neck and cap are clean — a dirty thread leads to a stuck cap and dried ink.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this ink for tattoos?▾
No — this product is marketed as drawing ink, and its declared purpose is exclusively drawing. Use for any other purpose is strictly the consumer's responsibility, and the store assumes no liability in this case. The True Black formula is indeed one of the most renowned in the industry, but this bottle is meant for sketches, paper projects, and exercises on synthetic skin. Also note that ink regulations vary from country to country, so check applicable local regulations.
What is the shelf life and how do I store it properly?▾
The shelf life is approximately 3-5 years from the manufacturing date, under proper storage conditions: tightly closed bottle, in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. After first opening, follow working hygiene — pour into separate containers, do not return used ink to the bottle, and close the cap immediately. This keeps the content clean and usable for the entire life of the product.
How do I get gray tones from this black?▾
You dilute the ink in a separate container with a dilution solution — for example Intenze Snow White Mixing or other professional dilution solutions. A 1:1 ratio produces a medium gray, and higher proportions of diluent yield increasingly lighter grays. The recommendation is to test each ratio on a sample before using it in your drawing, because the black is very concentrated and the final shade may be darker than expected.
How do I keep the ink hygienic in the long term?▾
The basic rule: the bottle never comes into contact with working tools. Pour the required amount into a disposable ink cap or cup, close the cap immediately, and wipe the bottle neck after each pour. Any ink left in the container at the end of the session is discarded — not poured back. This keeps the bottle's content uncontaminated from the first to the last drop.
Is the 15 ml bottle worth it, or should I go straight for a larger size?▾
The 15 ml bottle is the ideal testing format — you get to see how the True Black formula behaves in your working style without a large investment. It's also a good compact backup solution if you already have a main stock. For large projects with extensive black areas, larger formats are more practical and economical. Note: the high pigment concentration means less ink is consumed per surface area compared to more diluted inks.
Is the product vegan?▾
Yes. The ink is vegan and cruelty-free, manufactured in the USA by Intenze Products under strict quality protocols. Another strong point of the brand is lot-to-lot consistency: every bottle offers the same shade and consistency, so you can resume a project with a new bottle without visible differences in tone.
