creating flash

[kreepster]

I'm getting ready to start drawing up some flash. My question is : Does anybody here use a rapidogragh to do their outline ? And if so, what size do you find the best?I'm having a prob finding "roetring" types on the net as I am many miles from a serious art supply store

get some calligraphy pens with india ink.i have the drawing/sketching set.
i also like the uniball and the uniball micro pens-easy to get!
but for the o/s look use pen and ink.

One of the better places for Airbrush and Fine Art/Technical stuff also....Not sure if Kip still works there but he is the best guy to talk to about your order...

thanks guys. From what I understand , the calligraphy pens would be used on a water color set? Or does it matter. I was planning on doing a sheet using prisma colors and thought I'd outline w/ the rapidograph. I might have to travel anyways cause I need to get some crescent board and a few other things.

also thanks for posting the airbrush site. I hope that company is still there. However, I'm putting off picking up the airbrush as of yet though buying some harley tanks & practicing would be a bit of fun.

use them with water colors.

I can't use the rapidograph pens.. Well I can but they have a short life at my house (since I have kleptoish small people who can climb and love to draw) I was always buying new tips.. I found that the Artline pens (Dick Blick carries them) are a cheap alternative, I can even do watercolor with them if I keep my washes light. They are 5 bucks for a set of 3 and start at 0.1.
