Dyson's Inktober & Mapvember

[Redrobes]

These are all nice - but id like to say that I particularly like that juicer. Such a complex construct rendered in so easy to visualize map with your crisp lines. Wonderful stuff.

Long long ago I used to do some inkwork with indian ink and a nib pen rather than these tipped pens now. When I did it I found that the paper had to be a bit special or the ink would run into the weave of it and blur. Also, long ago I used to make blue prints for work with an ink plotter (before the advent of laser printers...) and it had to have special paper which was more like a thin vinyl. Your lines are very crisp, and if you can see the printed grid underneath then do you have any special paper that you use ? Is it coated, shiny and not blotting type ?

I think I found the pen on amazon tho. I may have to try one of these out in my ham fist.

Nah, it is a mix of paper from my printer and some pads of graph and isometric paper from various sources. Nothing spectacular.

For pens I mostly use Mitsubishi Uni Pins - fine felt-tipped markers - except for the 005 size where I go back to the Sakura Microns.
