Question on Pen drawings?

I drew something using a random black ballpoint pen and after a week the ink started turning yellow/brown and the another drawing turned blue but on it I used a sign pen...


and the paper I used for both is regular 8x11acid-free printing paper...


anyone know why this happens??



It sounds like your inks are fading. Were they in the sun? You should use an archival pen then is fade resistant. I believe Micron or Faber-Castel Pens are perm., acid free, and fade resistant. They are about 2.00 a pen and available at the local art store.:) Cheers
