Splurged on a WN series 7 (when I was broke) and sat down to ink a drawing I'd done. I delicately touched moved the brush across the paper and...SPLAT! I thought, "People ink with these!!? What the hell!" Then a couple years ago I saw someone at Heroes...Dexter Vines, I think, inking these razor thin lines with a brush. Made me want to shoot myself in the head.Matt Wieringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302122744904811081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22603431.post-30258366671339602802008-02-06T11:01:00.000-05:002008-02-06T11:01:00.000-05:00Mafus has that Klaus book and loaned it to me many...Mafus has that Klaus book and loaned it to me many moons ago. From what I remember it has a wealth of knowledge that I probably need to buy myownself.<BR/><BR/>On the Klaus tip...a guy I used to work with was an intern at Marvel and was a runner for them to Klaus.

There's a book by Klaus Jansen and I just saw another one the other day at the comic book shop. That dvd sounds like it would be cool to check out as well. As for the piece, I think it'd would be pretty cool to have meself. I could throw something your way for it?Heywood Jablomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559128208530940675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22603431.post-42800953296822500302008-02-06T09:18:00.000-05:002008-02-06T09:18:00.000-05:00Thanks Rene and Heywood.The brush used to be kind ...Thanks Rene and Heywood.<BR/><BR/>The brush used to be kind of a fascination of mine that I could never seem to get a handle on. I'd always end up with a shaky line, which led to my going back to markers and the occasional quill. Watching the Kubert DVD over and made me realize I was holding it wrong and that it's much easier to have the line go away from you. If you're bringing the brush/marker/quill towards you you don't get the best line. (Arm restriction or something I reckon.)<BR/><BR/>Toying with the idea of giving this piece away, if anyone is interested, too.Christian D.
