Conference Sketches

Shiny New Moleskin

One of the few drawings I've done in my new moleskin. I usually use a brushpen when working in a moleskin, and I'm discovering that my other usual pen, a green Ball Pentel R50, is horrible to use on shiny moleskin pages. This sketch of Greg before our lunch arrived is with an Artline Ergoline Fine 0.4, which I'm finding more pleasant to work with, but I miss my green pentel.
