New pens, new curves and a new style.

OK first up, I have some new pens some ZIG MANGAKA in 0.1 and 0.5, lightfast, smudge proof is what they say on them and they are brilliant. The 0.1 is a little scratchy but 0.5 is brilliant especially with the French Curves / curved speed line ruler set as the ink dries super quick so doesn't smudge when tou move the ruler like a lot of pens. Sadly I couldn't get a hold of the MANGAKA in 0.2mm as it seems out of stock everywhere but I am sure I will as they are great pens to have.

 

The other type of pen I got a set of was the Uniball Eye Needle 0.7mm ball 0.5mm output which are lovely and feel great to hold complete unlike any other pen I have, dries slowly but are good for large areas of inking and are really smooth.

 

I also got his book, it is great it slows you down to look more in depth at the noir comic style. I really like the artist Shawn Martinbrough and this is a great walk through of the style, so it was well worth the purchase.

So with that I quickly and I mean quickly did some of my robots and noir-ised them, although I think they look pretty good for my first attempt, they do need a bit of work and ultimately I don't think I will use this style for the robots in their final form.

That is all for now, new pens soon I'm sure.
