Tool talk.
Well went crazy this time. Started with Deleter Manga G dip pen, then tried a Pentel Brush pen but it seemed to feather a bit on the paper. Then went to Pro-Arte Series 101 #1 Prolene brush. Then a Gillot 1950 dip pen on the hair. I’ve been trying hard to find a synthetic brush to use instead of a Kolinksy sable. I’d tried the #2 Pro Arte but couldn’t really get on with it. The sable is so much better. However dropping a size to the #1 actually worked pretty well. Sort of felt like a cross between using a pen ( but with the ink drying so much faster) and a brush (but without the capability of producing really wide strokes in one go). I’ll see how well the tip holds up for next time. Because I ink two strips at a time, that will be page 53.
