Sketchbooks
SS: TSS
Saint Seiya: Training Sketchbook Series
All 40-80 pages, meant for fast doodles and brain dumps.
Serious Business
Serious business sketchbooks.
Ranges from 24 to 400 pages, will be used mostly for visual journals.
Lollygaggers
Trying to finish these up from last year.
These are larger sketchbooks but still under 100 pages. They are halfway serious business sketchbooks.
Main Tools for the Year
Pens mainly for drawing:
- Yellow Sailor Fude de Mannen 55 degrees (Platinum Carbon Black)
- Black Sailor Fude de Mannen 55 degrees (various inks)
- PP4.5MMRC – Pilot Parallel 4.5mm radius cut (Pilot Black)
- Twsbi Eco 1.1mm stub
- Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
- Lamy Joy 1.9mm
- Generic brush pen
Pens mainly for writing:
- Sailor Pro Gear 14K MF nib
- FPR Tanoshii Medium nib (my fave)
- Sailor 14K Music nib
- Pilot Kakuno Medium nib
- Pretty Lamy Joy clone
Watercolors:
- Schmincke Watercolors, 12 half pans (vibrant)
- Windsor & Newton, 12 half pans (more muted)
Inks:
I will be using my other inks too but these will be the main focus and most commonly used.
- Platinum Carbon Black, my main waterproof black ink. I’m hoping to finish a whole bottle this year
- Diamine Ancient Copper, my main writing ink, hopefully I’ll put a dent in that bottle this year.
- Pilot Black, 350 ml bottle. This one I definitely hope to at least go through 30ml.
