RE: Burst of life.

in #art8 years ago

Yes we do all have to start somewhere. I read some of your blog. I am interested in the pens you talk of, can they be purchased online? I drew the above picture using a bic pen that had multi clicking inks that I had previous used for color coding my patient charts! And it's on basic computer paper!! I never really had time for art or writing before so the supplies seem impossible to maneuver in quality versus price. As I have bought a few expensive items that don't compare to some of the lesser priced items. It's like a hit and miss. If you could recommend a good brand name that can be purchased online I would be more than thankful. I have been so in awe of the way some people are able to transform their paper and inks using simple methods. It's foreign to me.

I feel the pain as it took me a very long time to find the right fit. I highly recommend any Rotring pens as their craftsmanship is fantastic! However the Rapidograph line that I tend to use most is outrageously expensive... They have really good alternatives of different price ranges though. You can buy them directly from the Rotring website or amazon should have stock too :) The generic ink is black but Rotring has blue, green and red as well, although I haven't been able to find any other than the black... Thank you so much for taking the time to take a look at my blog :)

Thank you for the reply. I will look on amazon and sneak it into my husbands cart so he can buy the pen for me! Or i'll ask for one for the upcoming valentines holiday as a gift. Seems less shady! Pen pun intended!

@maximdraws amazon does have them and they even have one that clicks different colors! Not as expensive as I was thinking it would be. Worth it if it is an ink that doesn't smudge and is smooth in texture. Yay!
