While I was picking up various pencil-related art supplies at the end of last week, I also picked up a new sketchbook, and broke it in over the weekend with a couple quick little sketches:
(I think that fellow in top hat and monocle came along because I'd been posting a lot of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec painting on tumblr. :P)
I haven't kept a sketchbook for fifteen years or so, I think, so it's kind of exciting! No more having to doodle on odd scraps of paper, nope! :) This one is um let's see here...a "Super Deluxe" from the Bee Paper Company, 9"x6" (I would call that 6"x9" but whatever :p).
I used that Cretacolor Monolith pencil for those sketches, and I was thinking I'd use the Monoliths for some fill-in or shading for today's page, but I tried a bit and it reminded me that these wider, softer leads tend to leave a speckled line, which I didn't really want. So I erased that and just stuck with the 0.5 mm drafting pencil for the whole thing, that's what I'm used to anyway. I think it'll be a while before I figure out just how I want to do shading and so forth with it, but there are certainly a lot of ways to use it and I think I'll have fun experimenting. : )
