I'm a fraud.

[Jeph]

...you all thought you knew me....

....he ispired me to toss my pens in the trash cold-turkey and just start using a brush. Before that, I was wasting a lot of time mimicking brush strokes with a pen.

...that's what I'm doing right now on my Melvins poster. ops:


Meet the REAL me.

I think it's taken gred 2 years to get where he's at with the brush.

[Unitus]

hmm. i just make pen strokes with my pen.

i guess that's why i fail.

[Jeph]

Man, I TOTALLY respect anyone who can work solely with a brush...it takes patience and skill beyond anything I possess.

[goad74]

That's all I do.....brushes creep me out. They're like moustaches on sticks.

[Jeph]

I frauded until 2 this morning...it's now 8 and I'm at work....

[Plantweed]

One day I will master this brush. The technical pens will be thrown away.

[Pedini]

I my pens!

It does take me longer to draw, tho.

[Plantweed]

Pens will never be able to replicate the variation of line width a brush can bring. It always looks clunkier when you try to "fake" it. I need to practice more.

I can draw really well with brushes but whenever I started using Micron pens a whole world opened up to me. I can totally get great line variations and I feel like I have more control and more room for improvisation. They are better than rapidographs because they flex when you draw. Like Pedini says though, it takes a lot longer.
