INTRODUCTION into BRUSH INKING!

my hands are dirty and look a thousand years old...so if you want to ink....embrace the degeneration of your beautiful body./

'Sometimes it _is_ the tools' is something they should teach in every art school (if they ever actually start teaching anything again).

You guys may want to get your hands on some Scharff 3000 series brushes. I bought three of them (#2, #3) years ago and they've held their points and were quality like the W&N brushes were back in the day. The Dick Blick Masterstroke brushes are nice as well. I still have my old W&N brushes and use those often too, haven't tried out the new ones but the last few I've bought have not held up and I can't get them to keep a point.

That DC paper looks exactly like the Canson Fanboy boards, with W&N Series 7 the bristles are very drying because they changed hair quality and their brushes were never the same again, I still have an old W&N S7 #3 and the flow is much better. People always say it's the artist and not the tools that matter but I found that I only started to make a ton of progress once I got the tools that enable me to make the lines that I want. If it's the same as the DC boards the back should be much smoother but still matte so the lines will brake if the ink is too dense.

Thanks a lot, just what I was looking as a beginner

I love the video! I can't wait for the next video! I used to have sketchbooks full of ink lines like that for practice. Thanks for always helping us out!

If you don't like Strathmore bristol; Borden & Riley Paris Bleedproof Paper is a great solution. Brush strokes will complete the whole way and it has zero problem with nibs and Rapidograph. It has a plate surface.

Dude! Another great video! Yeah, DC paper is a grab bag of quality. A few (actually many) years ago, DC's "smooth" was that ultra plate bristol and really great to work on. I found that Strathmore made DC paper and bought a huge stock of the Strathmore Plate 500(?) Series that was the same quality. I've been back and forth with Strathmore for years trying to get that same stock again when I ran out but they said they've changed vendor and they can't make that sweet smooth plate anymore. Strathmore only has the toothy smooth stuff now. I'm so sad. That's part of the reason I've kind of switched over to digital even though I've been so resistant to the technology for so long. Keep it up, bro - you're my favorite inker!
