About the paste-up correction. At the studio where i used to work we pasted a new page (for example Bristol) behind the old one. Cut the bad scene out. With (through both pages with a cutter) The new part fit exactly in the old one and is taped on the back from the page. Works great!

What aspects of the comic did you use ink and brush for and what aspects did you use the microns and pentel pocket brush pen for?

Every time I read this post I feel excited to draw and paint.
Your artwork is very amazing, soft, natural and extremely real.

Thanks for share your behind the scenes.

See you.

Hello,

I am also a fan of brush and ink. However I always seem to have trouble with the thickness of the ink. The higgins brand is very fluid but too watered down for my liking, the Speedball it darker yet I constansly have issues with it clogging up the brush so the brush cannot come to a sharp point (i use the brush for fine lines and thicker ones). Do you have this issue? Any tips on how to fix it?

Thanks for the tool talk! I bought my first Cotman III brush because of this blog–I’d been using the W&N Series 7 fellows–and I liked the line much better! The lines always came to a nice curly point, instead of rounding themselves off. I did my first line and thought “oh, my! That looks like a Craig Thompson head! I’m on my way!” Then I finished the picture and thought, well, maybe not. But thanks for the tips! They’re cheaper, too.
