HELP
This is my new 22 page On-The-Go Ink and Wash booklet that can be ordered through Blurb.com, but how do I get a photo and link onto my side bar like on Carol Marine's blog? Help, I need somebody, help!
Hi David, I'm not sure what Carol has but you can go to design on your blog page. Click Add a gadget in your side bar and then click add a picture. It will let you also add the website link. Hope that is helpful
Hi David, You may want to check your web link. It seems to go to the main site page and not your book which is http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1968197
David! So glad to see your "Sketch Book"! I ordered it immediately. Did my truck on the cover have anything to do with my enthusiasm? Possibly ;} I'm taking it to Italy where we've got a place to stay for 7 (!) weeks. - Dana
Mike, I use a Sharpie ultra fine tip pen for my drawing. It has non-water soluble ink. For my washes, added to the drawing, I use a Tombow pen that has water soluble ink.
Sorry, David, to be a bit dense...but the Tombow pens I saw on their site only had a brush end or a fiber tip, it appeared. Is this what you're using? I'd assumed it was more like a fountain pen or a Rapidiograph. Could you confirm the Tomboy pen name or model, pls? Thanks.
Mike, The TOMBOW pens have a brush end and a rigid drawing end. I use the brush end most of the time to apply my dabs of ink ( to my Sharpie pen sketch on watercolor paper ) to be dissolved with my Waterbrush and moved about to make washes.

I'm not sure about the link, David, but how much is the book? Why you ask? Because I want to know how to do this!

ReplyDeleteSo, David, I looked on the Tombow site but cannot be sure of what pen you use and like. Is it a fountain pen? A brush tip?
