I’ve been doing the #inktober2019 thing. I know this is watercolor but it started out as a fountain pen sketch in brown ink.
From a couple of days ago.
This is a strange little comic I did a while back when a friend suggested a group of us each do a comic-format story based on Batman. This was my take on it. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Web-comic format, so I assembled all 10 pages of this story into one long strip to see how it would display on a phone or iPad. Hopefully you will find it amusing. Enjoy!
What the deuce indeed!
The people at Denik were kind enough to send me another book to look at — the Layflat Notebook:
The design they sent me was Midnight Meadow which has a beautiful cover — and is one of 18 new designs they’re offering.
I’ve got to say, it’s pretty cool. Seems to be a normal A5 (5.25″ x 8.25″) size with rounded corners and a definite upgrade to the previous “smaller notebook” that I reviewed before. As far as “laying flat” it’s a LOT better than the earlier, perfect-bound small notebook. It seems to have stitched signatures as opposed to the glued-in pages and the paper is good quality.
Again, most of what I do in a sketch book these days is with watercolor, and these pages were just a little too thin to accommodate large areas of wash, but still held up remarkably well.
This book would be perfect for pencil sketching, ink sketching, journaling or Bullet Journaling.
And of course the great thing about this company is that a portion of the proceeds from every purchase goes to help build schools and support artists around the world.
Check them out! #denik, @shopdenik
