You can control the stroke thickness and they're just so nice to work with. Careful of ink blobs though.stapeliadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951276488090818096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-54845408018251526322007-06-11T17:49:00.000+10:002007-06-11T17:49:00.000+10:00Wonderful two sketches...You did great with the pe...Wonderful two sketches...You did great with the pen and I love your shading, it is perfect.<BR/>ronellAfricantapestry and Myfrenchkitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721198951463440836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-79630377967703699682007-06-10T12:00:00.000+10:002007-06-10T12:00:00.000+10:00Cool!

Much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Laura - I do agree that there was less pressure working with the pen and it made me take on a more loose approach which was kinda fun. Perhaps though, it was more to do with my limited knowledge on how to actually shade with the pen. lol<BR/><BR/>Juj - I plan to try some coloured pencils and pen next time around.

The pigma is my favorite pen. Of course, I don't do alot of shading with it. I always wish I could use a pen like France Belleville or Tommy Kane, but I'm hopeless in that department. I'm with you on the graphite for shading. The pigma is great for line work tho - and I jujhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297173587055224228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-14074145480650542592007-06-10T05:25:00.000+10:002007-06-10T05:25:00.000+10:00Thanks for making them larger!Well I tihnk you mad...Thanks for making them larger!<BR/>Well I tihnk you made an excellent job of those coins - just the right amount of detail. I say this with particular feeling as I made an attempt at coins today that was dismal.<BR/><BR/>You made a very good job of that torch too.

I think it's very freeing not to use an eraser sometimes as the sketches end up being more spontaneous don't you think? Anyhow, you've got a super start with these microns!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766892831511285251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-63592769897284770192007-06-09T21:42:00.000+10:002007-06-09T21:42:00.000+10:00Good work on these challenges, using only a pen is...Good work on these challenges, using only a pen is frightening and you achieved tons of depth and value - nice blog and thanks for commenting on mine too.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394915578291177357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-80952175749013371832007-06-09T21:01:00.000+10:002007-06-09T21:01:00.000+10:00EXCELLENT Serena!
