SSTSS: Shiryu
First sketchbook finished for the year! This year I’m going to practice a lot more than I used to. I’ll always be carrying one of these little booklets with me to doodle and do studies.
Page Count: 40
Paper: Sugarcane Pulp
Book Size: A5
Extra Notes: I love this paper. It can’t really be used with watercolor, but it can handle any fountain pen and inks so far. I love using the Fude de Mannen on it.
Sampling of Pages
Tools Used
This is a new thing I’m trying with my sketchbooks. In addition to a test page at the end or beginning of the sketchbook, I’m also recording the pens and inks I’m using for each notebook. This will include pens used, pens filled, refilled and emptied.
