start of the sketchbook
 
micron fineliner, watercolour, desk at work; 9B pencil, watercolour pencil, mrs pepperpot; so I bought a moleskine sketchbook, having seen so much work online devoted to them. Oh yes, this will take some time to get used to. For one thing, it didn't seem to be as effective as I'd like with the ink pen, sure I could get a picture but something was not right. But I tell you, they don't like watercolours, these moleskines. The paper says 'oi, what you doing', and you have to rub it a bit more to get it to stick. This caused effects I didn't like. Now with a pencil I had no problems, in fact I will enjoy using pencil in this sketchbook; even the watercolour pencils were ok, but some practice will be needed to get where I feel comfy. though in truth I've never been comfy with that colour paper; it might grow on me though. So that's my first experience with these 'legendary' ('expensive') moleskines. I know people swear by them (I was swearing at it yesterday). But already I'm missing the whsmith sketchbook. It's like that one particular Canson book I could only find in France that I used to use, I'd draw in nothing else, well now it's the smiths one; i'm a fussy creature of habit. But I'll give it a go. The sketchbook itself looks cool after all.
