Helpful advice

Thank you!

I wish I could find paper like this that could fit my scanner :P I get that there are phone scanner apps out there, but sometimes I just want to use my actual scanner for better results. Advise?

[@DKG72]

Honestly when I draw on 11x17 boards I take them to the local FedEx Kinkos and reduce the art. The only way you can do that from home is to get a scanner that can scan an 11x17 paper...unfortunately those are pretty rare...so the kinkos solution has been working best for me.

I currently use Canson Fan Boy paper, and I've noticed that the lines tend to fade away while I rest my hand on something I've already drawn. Forcing me to redraw my artwork with a darker leads pencil. The Strthmore paper doesn't have this problem when I rest my hand on a drawing, right?

[@DKG72]

Yes. I have been using the Strathmore boards for almost 2 years and the art look just as bright and vibrant as the first day i inked it. I think you will love it.

@@DKG72 Thanks. The Canson paper tends to feel run down after drawing on it for a long time, and erasing the lines kinda makes it look worse. Here's another question. Will Tombo white erasers work well with the Strathmore paper?

[@DKG72]

I am not sure with the Tombow White erasers....only one way to find out is to try it.

@@Launchpad05 The Tombow Mono eraser is pretty much all I use - it works great with all Bristol and Kent paper (Strathmore 200 included!)

Hi great video, what make of pen did you use ?

[@DKG72]

That was a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush pen hard nib, blue body. If you look in the description of my latest videos a link to the Amazon page will be available for you to use.

You're welcome.

I tried this paper, first the blue line is too blue, it's distracting for me. I don't want to see such a visible blue line. For my money EON is the absolute best paper! It has that ultra brightness and takes both pencil and ink very very well! Yes, I'm an EON man!

[@DKG72]

I get it. The blue lines don't show that much when you are scan it in. But Eons are my second favorite. The cost is just a turn off for me.

@@DKG72, C'mon man haven't you heard, you get what you pay for! Your art is worth it!

[@DKG72]

@@thumbsaloft I get great results with the Strathmore boards my friend and while it's true you get what you pay for... It's also true that buying expensive supplies WON'T make you a better artist. All I need is an outlet to tell great stories. It could be common multipurpose paper or expensive boards. If my fundamentals ain't on point the art will be whack regardless. So investing in supplies is of some importance... But ultimately investing into your skill and talent as a visual storyteller is way more important. Put that sweat equity in.

[@thumbsaloft]

@@DKG72, I totally agree, but I'm not going to put in all that sweat equity and then totally drop the ball by settling for second best supplies and equipment! Imagine if your doctor did that! Being a traditional artist who absolutely loves paper and pencil, and who sells art pieces, I want my work on the best! But hey that's me! Keep pushing that pencil, by the way who is your biggest influence? For me it's the one and only JACK KIRBY! The absolute king of comics!

[@DKG72]

@@thumbsaloft bro jack Kirby used a number 2 pencil and an over sized piece of Bristol board. When you actually study those guys they drew on everything. Their pen game was impeccable... Not their supplies... Another word of advice...people don't care what you draw on...they care about the end result.... I use a quality paper. Good enough for me. You use a paper you feel is better...cool... My primary concern is being the best visual storyteller I can be... Equipment is a concern...but not my main focus... Priorities....
