Nice job Steve. For me it’s always interesting to hear how other pros work. I’m also a big brush guy. I agree with everything you said about that. Anyhoo hope all is well. I look forward to more how to videos from you. Best wishes always…Spark💥

Good video, bummer about the image resolution though.

[@Cyranowan]

Is the page setup 12x18? If so, how do you setup the page dimensions (bleed, safe area etc?)

[@steverudethedude]

The page size is 15"x22" and Steve uses a template to layout the comic pages. Hope this helps!

Wish you were my neighbor my friend so I can peak through your window and learn from you.

Great insight but the video is a little too low resolution. As for reasons to not use larger brushes, price and low quality control, a #2 kolinsky brush these days is around 20-30, even in Europe it's around that price, a #2 is easier to make and they put more effort into the sizes that sell more. I have an ultra high quality #10 that has an amazing point but it's a vintage kolinsky brush that today would cost the same of a small car and with a dull point.

Not true, in Europe you can find larger Kolinsky brushes which are great quality, give you a perfect point and are affordable. See those by Rosemary and Co.

@@djo-dji6018 Those are in England, it will cost you more in import taxes and customs since Brexit happened, I have many Rosemary brushes when they cost £5 for a number 4, now they cost a lot more.
