Yeah, so this isn't a topic showing off my wares, more a question. Well, plea. Plea question. Plestion.
Anyway, I'm sure there are people who ink their pencils around here so I field my question/plea to you: What kind of pens do you use? I know that some peeps like to use paint brushes instead, but I don't really have the time or patience for that kind of thing.
The pen I use mainly at the moment is a .2 pilot drawing pen, which is, frankly, rubbish. Rubbishtastic. Rubbishtacular. Ru... well, you get the idea. I'm not a particularly good inker anyway, but it always comes out blobby/scratchy regardless of how much pressure I put on it. Maybe it's a bad make, bad pen, or bad workman who blames his tools. Whichever, it's driving me insane.
So, what makes of pen do you use? Have you any arcane inking secrets you'd like to share? I promise I'll keep them to myself. And the people who read this thread. And maybe anyone who asks me. But them alone. Cheers!
i tend to use a 'pigment liner', 01mm size. any thinner then that and the artwork gets scratchy, like you described.
often i have to re-ink my work after i've erased the penciling, as the rubbing takes off some of the ink, or i couldn't see how thick it was due to heavy pencils. ^.x;
for thicker lines i use my 05 pen, of the same type. for really big black areas i break out a thin paintbrush and my india ink.
i've seen some great work with paintbrushes, but i couldn't trust myself to be steady enough with one.
This may not be helpful since the pen I use isn't commercial and is nameless, but what I can tell you is to try a lot of pens, and find the INKYEST pen you can. By that, I mean the ink just "gushes" out thickly, yet while still has a fine line when applying minimal pressure. If you're new to inking and looking for something, get a pen with runny black ink. It will save a LOT of time and a nasty cramp in your hand.
I used to use a nameless fine 0.5 marker, but that died out so I recently went out on a quest to find a new inking pen..
So I bought this 0.7 Pilot for only 1 and it works really well and the other day I found a 0.5 Pilot lying on the ground and works wonders!
So, for the thicker lines I use the 0.7 (eyes need it, because of the expressiveness) and for more detailed parts the 0.5. 
What EnergyEmerald said is also important, look for a pen that lets out a lot of ink, having to apply pressure for it to come out isn't very practical when drawing, because it makes your hand slip easier.
Ink Brush, mothaf*ckas.
That or a really nice calligraphy pen/other fountain pen, because ballpoint pens suck.
I'm a conformist to the stationary shops, and go with a pack of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 pilots every time. But I find in that set you do get a good versitility and reliability. And a wack-off permanant marker for spaces.
I used to use a 0.2 and a 0.8 pilot, but the 0.8 was way to thick for even the thickest linework at times, and the 0.2 was to thick for the thinnest. The thing with pilots though is that it all HAS to be one smooth line or it looks odd, that's how they are built, they are VERY scratchy unless you hold them right and get everything down in one go.
That takes time.
... man, I've had a comic I've been needing to ink for a month or so >.>
My art supply section is typically limited (by funds) to the Walgreens down the road. I rotate pens based on availability, sometimes I find ones I like. These are some of the things I stick to and use regularly:
Pilot pens? Generally a good choice for average inking jobs. I like .5 and .7 a lot.
For really thin lines, I tend to just use regular Bic ballpoint pens.
For thicker lines, I've found Uni-ball "Vision" to be a nice choice. I can't find a number on the pen, and it simply says "fine". But trust me, it's more suited for thick lines, especially if you're doing small detail work.
And finally, when you need REALLY thick lines for borders and whatnot, you can't go wrong with a regular black Sharpie 😀
Just remember, you don't have to go all-out on the supplies just to get a nice drawing ^^ I find it's all about experimenting and seeing what you, as an artist, prefer.
Hope this helps!
