And the nail in the coffin is they don't do anything a bamboo stick or a ruling pen won't do, tools I'm much more comfortable with. I'll eventually have someone who likes them do a write up for me comparing different pens, but don't expect to see one from me.Comic Toolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956709507368856261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-22666163841856113472009-06-17T05:36:15.504-04:002009-06-17T05:36:15.504-04:00Joel if you mean Rapidographs just type that into ...Joel if you mean Rapidographs just type that into the search box and you'll see an entry about Pointed Sticks where Matt explains that he doesn't use them. I haven't seen any mention of technical pens here since.<br />If you go that route check E-bay for old ultrasonic pen cleaners. I bought a working one from an ex-draftsman for under $30.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-37417841692377108612009-06-15T10:35:00.944-04:002009-06-15T10:35:00.944-04:00Could you talk about the Koh I Noor refillable dra...Could you talk about the Koh I Noor refillable drawing pens?

It's worth looking up those strips - some are in old Comics Revue mags. Yeah, he did that EVERY day, and told me that he did it so the work would be more spontaneous and look less like traced pencils.Hugo Sleestakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927369804540489337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-50560354182204171172009-05-31T13:09:41.057-04:002009-05-31T13:09:41.057-04:00Thanks for posting the Quentin Blake thing.
