Thank you much David for liking the pieces. I dab the ink in with my finger to get it in the shading or dots and then wipe it off with paper (simlar to newspaper). Where this is a concentraction of lines or dots there will still an ink film there... in most places I leave it that way as it helps the shades of gray but tor the places that I want to be highlights I'll go in and make sure these area are as bright as they can be by using a toothpiece to clean off any hint of ink in those areas.
Here is another one
