INKDUP is the author's biggest brush bundle: ink lines, ink washes and the accidents that happen around them — drips, spatter, dry-brush scratches. MattyB says he spent over a year tuning the brushes to work together and keep drawing loose and spontaneous.

The families in the set

- Spatter and drips — drip maker, spatter A and B, single-drop and single-dot spatter, hollow dot spatter, wash spatter
- Dry and bristle strokes — stiff bristle, loose bristle in several densities, sparse mop and sponge bits
- Texture and tone — mezzotint, dust and scratch, degrado, typemulch and scratch mulch

Using it for loose ink drawings
Rough in the drawing with reed sketch liner, strengthen key lines with a wedge inker, then lay a WashLiner glaze for tone and finish with spatter and dust and scratch to break up clean edges. Keep wash and line on separate layers so you can change the wetness later.
