They're cheap versions of Moleskines, but I actually like the paper better, more like ordinary cartridge paper. It does show pen through the pages a bit, though.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/bw_sola_1jan11-ea49017c5c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nSpeaking of materials, \u003Cb>Philip Reeve\u003C/b> got an electric eraser-pen for Christmas and he's able to do all sort of things now with light trees on dark backgrounds, something that's been eluding me a bit. (I like \u003Ca href=\"http://philipreeve.tumblr.com/post/2543700046/31st-december-one-of-the-things-i-like-best\">this tree drawing\u003C/a> in particular.) I might have to get one of those, I remember \u003Cb>Will Kirkby\u003C/b> (\u003Ca href=\"http://chamonkee.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">chamonkee\u003C/a>) telling me about his electric eraser ages ago. You can see more of Philip's drawings in his \u003Ca href=\"http://philipreeve.tumblr.com/\">Dartmoor Sketchbook\u003C/a> and Vern, Lettuce and I make a little appearance on his \u003Ca href=\"http://philipreeve.blogspot.com/2010/12/year-in-pictures.html\">year-in-pictures blog post\u003C/a>. I think we've both had fun drawing trees, despite the chilblains and loss of fingers.","2011-01-02T19:09:00.000Z","todays-sketches",[],"today's sketches",1776628719455]
