Thank you very much sir! I did this on strathmore smooth Bristol. Same stuff I draw comics on. With a light hand there isn’t too much in the way of fiber accumulation in the nib tips.
Yeah, the tips cutting into the paper is what gives me hell. I saw Gebhard (from Cerberus) at a con and he had original that he did with nibs. They were really thick cardboard that was smooth as your laptop screen...must have taken forever for ink to dry on that.
For sure. These triptych style posters are purely for enjoyment/zone out time. If I had a deadline I’d have to switch it up. But inking of smooth giant white card stock sounds pretty dang satisfying. I’m working on getting more comfortable with brushes. Just never make it a point to take care of them after. Which gets expensive and annoying. What do you do for brush maintenance?
I used that pink mona lisa brush soap and a run the brush back on forth under the running fawcett across a metal spring...it's hard to explain. I'll show you if I come to MN in the fall.
