Here is a summary of recommendations given by different artists for sketching or sketchcrawling. <\/p>\n
Glenn Vilppu<\/strong><\/a> uses a Namiki Falcon<\/strong> fountain pen filled with a range of Sepia, brillian brown and black non waterproof Pelikan ink but also Polychromos Faber-Castell pencils<\/strong>. The Namiki Falcon nib is solid gold hence the price but doesn’t corrode like cheaper models. Glenn also recommends the $15 “Pen and ink sketching fountain pen”<\/a> which comes in extra-fine, fine or broad size. expensive but the pigments are much stronger.<\/p>\n Enrico Casarosa<\/strong><\/a> uses the Fabriano Artist journal<\/strong> which alternates white and brown pages. He also carries a Water brush pen like most Sketchcrawlers and a set of Windsor& Newton Artist watercolours and does most of his drawings using a pencil.[…]<\/p>\n Mattias Adolfsson<\/strong><\/a> works mainly with a Namiki Falcon<\/strong> fountain pen filled with American Eel waterproof ink<\/strong> from Noodler’s ink.<\/a> He also uses a Mont Blanc Meisterstruck once in a while. His favourite sketchbook is the Moleskine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Personally I currently use Windsor & Newton Artists’ watercolours Pocket sketchers’s box<\/strong><\/a>, to which I added a pink in order to do quick skin tones. Don’t bother with the cheap student paints, the Artists’ paints are much stronger. <\/p>\n My sketchbook is a cheap A5 Zap book <\/strong>sketchbook<\/a> since most of my drawings don’t have Moleskine value yet \ud83d\ude09 I bought an A6 Fabriano Artist’s Journal from CassArt<\/a> in Soho some time ago but the drawing size was just too small. I will have to find an A5 version next time I am in London.<\/p>\n For the drawing itself I use pretty much anything right now but intend to get one of those Namiki Falcon as quickly as possible. As much as I love 0.05 Rotring like drawings once in a while, thick and thin lines are just too sexy! For the brushes I use the Pentel Aquash water brush which is very useful since the water is contained in the handle, I never used the Niji Waterbrush but it works exactly the same way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is a summary of recommendations given by different artists for sketching or sketchcrawling.
