What an interesting journey. And what a personal and insightful way to chronical it. <br />Your work for your friends novel is lovely! It could be the artwork for our beloved Anne of Green Gables books. It feels like Prince Edward Island.

I...Thank you thank you thank you for your comments.<br />In this instance, I used a fine point Sharpie, on cheap copy paper from Staples.<br />I chose that pen because, at the beginning of every stroke, the ink does a wee bit of puddling. I think although it is subtle, it gives the overall drawing a little bit of zippiness...? And I guess, texture.<br />My usual pen for drawing in my sketchbook is a fine point Uni-ball. I like the line, but HATE them when they start to give out on me, especially in the middle of a drawing.<br />And I like that they are not waterproof (although they are archival) which allows me to sometimes do a "spit" wash. Too much info, I'm sure.William Ternayhttp://postcardsfromphilly.blogspot.com/2012/04/busy-week-of-sketching-painting-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961203811028907861.post-18440100926478485462012-04-28T18:03:09.896-04:002012-04-28T18:03:09.896-04:00You are an inspiration, Bill.
