I don't know of any starter packs on Amazon, although you can get them from Goulet, so you'd probably have to do it piece by piece. Amazon also doesn't tend to have the best prices on fountian pens and accessories and isn't known for packaging inks super securely, so that's worth considering as well. From Amazon I would recommend a Pilot Metropolitan (too many Safaris on amazon are fake), a bottle of either Pelikan 4001 or Pilot Iroshizuku ink, and a Rhodia pad
Ohhh I was using noodlers ink for a bit too! I fell in love with flexible-tipped fountain pens a while back, and I tried a few inks, including noodlers and pelikan- this one in particular! https://www.amazon.com/Pelikan-Bottled-Fountain-Brilliant-329144/dp/B001TBM2XC
I actually found pelikan dried faster in my experience, and I ended up preferring it! Though if noodlers is working well for you, then you don't need to fix something that ain't broke, as they say lol
Oh and copics, huh? I have some myself and my guess was a toss up between copics and watercolors ehehe
I think the inking pushes it into looking more like paints, but I can tell you also have some very nice copic techniques. She looks great!
You should enter this in the BC! I'll take a look for her next week ;)
I love the feel of the Sheaffer black cartridges, but it practically dissolves in water. I just bought a bottle of the Pelikan Brilliant Black ink to refill the converter on one of my pens and it's beautiful and while not archival quality, will not disappear in a spill. It's thicker than other inks I've used, so little to no feathering unless you're using some super-fibrous cheap notebook paper.
What I discovered last night is that the heavier weighted and variably textured paper of sketchbooks holds up very well with inks that tend to run or feather.
One final thought, and this might be blasphemy to a lot of folks, is that you can attempt to modify the nib to restrict ink flow if it's consistently too wet.
