Sketches and pen ruminations

[avram]

Not a whole lot of sketching the past couple of weeks. Regular work’ll do that.

Earlier this morning I was flipping through my sketchbooks, and I noticed that my fineline, heavily crosshatched style style had turned pretty kick-ass. Maybe I should give up on these brush-pens (though I am finally getting the hang of the thin Japanese one). Chris Baldwin just uses a Pilot Precise (V5, I think) — the same pen I carry around for writing — and he’s another heavy crosshatch guy. I just picked up a Pilot P-500 the other day; that’s the next generation Precise. I think it’s waterproof. Doesn’t fit into the pen loop on my PDA belt case.
