I recently found a Facebook post from artist Leslie Fehling about the Sketchliner she designed for making text lines in her own sketchbook, sold at Cheap Joe’s art supplies. Previously, I’ve used this grid paper I made, placing underneath papers that are more see-through or using it as a ruler grid on top of thicker papers. I like lightly pencilling in lines that are later erased after text has been added.
As long as I was placing an order anyway, I added a tube of paint I was out of, a postcard-sized sample of Kilimanjaro watercolor paper, and a bottle of Noodler’s ink — which came with a free dip pen. The paper sample says it’s bright white but the Very White label sticker makes the actual paper look more of a cream paper.
I love sketching with “not black” neutral colored fountain pen inks — this El Lawrence is a very dark khaki color named for Lawrence of Arabia. Very subtle in sketches and matches my savanna Lamy Safari pen!
