Added 1 new A* page:Some of the less hideous sketches I went through in testing and comparing various pens and brushes in recent weeks--my Raphael 8404 brush, a Pentel Pocket Brush, PITT "big brush" and "calligraphy pen" markers, Kuretake Disposable Brush Pen markers, Copic Multiliner markers, and...hm, I think that *might* be about it for these:
I still have a pen round-up I want to do to sort of wrap up my pen phase--now that I seem to be back to just the brush, that is. But just because I haven't ended up using a pen, primarily, doesn't mean it was a total waste of time and money--in fact, I'd have to say that it was pretty successful in helping me move into a new and promising phase, as I probably wouldn't have gotten into the no-pencil-all-brush approach I've been using for the past week and a half if I hadn't gotten a taste for going straight to ink while doodling with all these pens. I've also continued to use a few of the pens for doodles and touch-ups, which they're quite handy at. So! My brush and I thank you, pens.
