Clearly I don’t pay enough attention to the comments… But, yes, Mike – I just moved over to the Tombo brush pens. I’m really not sure what they’re called – but the brush ends are pretty small, and hold up pretty well. There’s a small one and I guess a medium size one, that hold up pretty well, especially if you use the right paper. For bold lines, I’ll just grab whatever I’ve got nearby- a big sharpie or something. I’m not very particular.
Some days, Substack has Serendipity riding on its shoulders. I was just thinking of a little caricature drawing some guy did in the waiting room of the vet's office when I and my daughter took a little birds in. (Not a good thing to do BTW no matter what good intentions we have.) Anyway, I thought about that whole line of artwork in public that is so commonly seen in parks and resorts, but WOW it takes a special kind of artists to whip those memorable pictures out. I'll bet every one done is stored in a scrapbook somewhere. I still have a portrait (not a caricature) done at Disneyland when I was six. A pastel, no less. Your twenty years in that field is the stuff of memories, Ed. Bravo! A life well lived.
Meanwhile, good luck to you and Moira for a successful settling-in to your new digs.
Did you use the Tombow (plus a bolder marker) on the live drawings?

Thanks for the timely response 😂 I do appreciate the info. Thanks Ed
