The moleskin sketchbooks are by far the best. I have also tried every art supply ever made before settling on a chosen kit. You have taken away trial and error that none of us have time for.

It is v. surprising to me how & what artists use & select as art materials. All these give me a lot of info about art essentials. Superb.

Both excellent - as always. I now have yet more things to add to my list of good things to have which I can't get in the UK! ;) I'm going to be including links to both posts in the weekly round-up post on "Making A Mark" tomorrow.

Fellow sketchblogger Mattias Adolfssen suggested it. Truly fantastic stuff made to be run through fountain pens (like my Pelikan) and remain waterproof on paper. The genius of it is that it only becomes waterproof once it touches paper, not before, due to a chemical reaction it has with xylene; so it's always wet on the pen nib. My sketching supplies are almost completely identical to yours as well. I love your work -- Great stuff. I too use Noodler’s American Eel ink. Fellow sketchblogger Mattias Adolfssen suggested it.

My technique and tools are very similar but my output can not comapre to your wonderful work. BTW, I use a Namiki Vanishing Point with a fine nib that I adjusted to be XF. I use Noodlers Black ink. The retracting nib in the VP eliminates the fumbling with the cap and makes it easier to keep the nib from drying out! Keep up the wonderful work! Wonderful post.

I quite like seeing how people work and art materials have a special appeal to me. I particularly like the way you have modified standard materials to fit your sketching needs. Very inspiring post.
