As per my “vow” from last post, I’ve switched here mid-page to pencil–and I’m not really sure I like the results. There’s something sort of stiff and labored about the pencil sketches, I think because the maleable nature of pencil–somewhat counterintuitively–tends to make me more fussy about putting down a line. I’m also pretty much using the pencil as if it were a pen, laying down dark outlines and then shading in areas. In short: I’m fighting the tool I’m trying to use. I’ll soldier on with other tools, but I’ll likely have to return to using My Precious (by which I mean, my Rotring art pen).
