Here is what it looks like going over Tombow brush marker:
And here it is over waterproof fineliner:
The W mark indicates that I applied the white while the black base was still wet. The application looks similar when dry and doing similar strokes; it seems like the best technique for covering dark ink is to dapple it with the pen. I’m thinking that it works better over the fineliner because it doesn’t reactivate the pigment in the waterproof ink.
Here’s one where I used it in a piece. The paper isn’t great, but you can see it applied as reflection on the eye:
It’s a bit hard to see, but the first photo shows what I seem to get, whiteish un-uniform lines, and not a totally white area even if I do just a really small small area or line.
He he watercolor people unite and not let the paint dry enough :-D I have ruined some paintings that way, but when you are in the mood it’s hard to take a long break!
I sure need to get my white reflection game up, in this I think I did 5 layers (Edit: with titanium white paint), which now is too uniform everywhere:
BTW, I have a Lemmy server dedicated to the arts, and I made a community for sharing work in progress and techniques, I mean I love this discussion but it will probably be buried here (or maybe not?) I think it’s a shame if information like this disappear. Anyway it’s all new if you want to have a look : Art In Progress

So I did a bit of experimenting.
