What I did today....

I just LOVE sketching on Bristol Board with a soft pencil, just wish the damn stuff wasn't so expensive! Some sketches of Pepper and Garlic (the cats, not the flavourings!)



And some quick studies (since children INSIST on moving so much!) of Florence and Phoebe!

Becky wants to know what Bristol Board is...

And she thinks you rock. :D Me too, of course...

Thanks! Bristol Board is very thick, almost a thin card, but the reason I like it is that it's INCREDIBLY smooth and almost silky to draw on. Really VERY nice and especially good if you are using ink as the pen never 'catches', plus it's not too absorbent. I like using pencils on it because they really do just glide across :) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_board)
