The lovely folks at
Kuretake sent me some new pens to try out. It was like Christmas when they arrived. Actually, it was better than Christmas because I didn't have to watch boring TV or eat christmas pudding...
ANYway. I had a go with some of them today* and here's the result. I'm trying to get some more colour into my work and I think these new friends of mine are going to be immensely helpful... and I had a lot of fun using them...
What, you don't call your pens your friends...? Oh... Right, neither do I...
* Namely: "Wink of Stella" (the brown in her hair. You can't tell in these photos but it's SPARKLY. yes!!! and I think that's the best name I ever heard for a pen... )
Millennium fineliners (the black outline and purple details. I am so pleased to have at last found coloured fineliners with good quality, archival ink.)
and : "Clean Colour" real brush pens (the pink and turquoise... these are just amazing. Seriously. I love watercolours but they make me a bit nervous... these pens have all the subtleness of watercolours with the ease of using a pen. Love.)
