Journal Entry: Wed Jul 23, 2008, 9:43 PM
I am curious on what is best to use -
I have for the longest time used an ultra fine tip sharpie on 8 x 15 copy paper - I like the way it looks but they are some things I am indifferent towards in using this approach to draw
I don't like how I have almost no different line thicknesses - it is always consistent on thickness in using a sharpie - I just have to go over certain parts more than once, which is fine - but I can't get really fine detail like I would like - also if you pause in mid line it creates a blotch - I don't mind if it only happens a few times
I have also noticed the paper most times absorbs more ink at times than I like

I looked up some pens on the internet - according to some sites, using a speedball with a fine tip nibs and an ink well is the best for drawing with fine detail - I am curious about which paper to use as well - I have heard a few different things

I'll do some searching on my own and come back later with the results

be safe everyone
daniel
