oooh Westers, love westerns!!
Pretty sweet. Out of curiosity, what brush(es) do you use?
Thanks, Jed!
Brian - Thanks, man. As for brushes, I only use one, the sacred Winsor & Newton series 7 #2. I've never felt the need to try a different make or model as this brush works for me. It's only recently that I've been using the brush for 95% of the lines on my pages. I used to use the Hunt#102 crowquill for most of my inking up until a few years ago. I think my pages have gotten a lot stronger since the switch.
What do you use for inking?
I love Westerns!
A Sharff #3 3000 series sable. I used Series 7's for years. The Sharff has way more bounce to it. A little more rigid. More control. Plus with a number 3, you can get the tiniest hair line and an insanely fat line in one brush. I use the Staedleter 3000 brush pen and a straight edge for structural things, like buildings and stuff, so I can still vary my line width and don't have to switch pens. It still has a brush look, so the buildings look like they were inked with a brush as well, for continuity sake.
Brian - I think I'll seek out the brush you use and see what's what. I've never really experimented with any other brushed, so it would be a good idea to do that and see if I get a better line.
Thanks for the tips, man.
