Nope. The Letraset fineliner is still a piece of shit. Dries fast? Doesn’t bleed with markers? Bullshit. And it’s not me, because I have two different Letraset bleedproof pads (thick and thin gsm) and that stupid pen is still smearing all over my linework. The Staedtler fineliners that I have been using for as long as I can remember are much, much better in comparison at holding their form when the marker is passed over the top. I’m also not impressed with the “range” of skin tones supplied wiht the shonen set of Tria’s i.e. one that is very, very orange. There is no real pink colour, and the grey’s aren’t grey at all. They’re obviously brown when you see them on the marker paper.

Just like me to notice what’s wrong with them and I’ve only had them the sum total of six hours… I’ll do a proper write up about my experience with them when I have the time (I’m off to the Isle of Skye next week to sit in a tent and speak Gaelic and my bunnies are back and forth at the vets just now so they need nursing and pineapple).

Got to love the 270gsm cartridge paper from Letraset though… It’s so thick…

You’re Terrible…

I know I said that markers and I didn’t really have a fantastic future, but I just went and bought some Tria Markers D: (sad face because they were expensive). Been playing with the Promarkers again the past few days and they’re just not doing as I want them to, so here’s hoping that the Tria’s will fulfil my desires! By the way, if you want to head over to the Sweatdrop Forums and check out their offer with Letraset, you might be in for a pleasent surprise but you’d better be fast as it ends in August!

Nothing much is new here. Between work, running about studying tattooing, walking and sleeping I’ve not had much time for anything other than sketches recently. Man, I blame the almost perfect summer weather. How dare the sun shine so perfectly…
