So in December I binged on drawing tools and paper. I haven’t gotten around to testing the papers yet, but my new collection of brush pens, pens and nibs has me all swooning. A Rotring Art Pen (EF), good for both writing and sketching, a very very black Pentel Brush Pen, a grey Pentel Color Brush Pen, and a whole set of pen nibs.
The Pentel Color Brush Pen is a bit clumsy, especially compared to his elegant and handy little black brother, so the little one is probably going to be used much more by me. It is also the first of the lot that I’ve been seriously test driving the past week or so, first at home
then drawing nerds and their devices at the 27th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin (where I also gave a presentation).
The lack of detail is due to my being stuck in the cafeteria, without any daylight whatsoever, and not much light in general, so a similar situation to party sketching only that people moved less around here.
Some close-ups:
(The strange straight lines in some of the pictures are fuckups of my scanner, which I hope he gets over again…)
