metagrosss asked: What kind of sketch book you use? And I love your work.

Thanks for the kind words!  I usually use 3.5” x 5” moleskine for my pocket.  I’m honestly not that fond of the paper they use, but the binding is done in a way that lets you work across two pages really easily.  I find that worth the less than perfect paper and the price.  For Sketching at home I use hardbound Canson sketchbooks.  

Hope this helps or something.   

cinnamongnu asked: What pen(s) do you use for your line art?

I use a lot of different pens but my main pens are Farber Castell PITT pens extra small and small sizes, a Lamy Safari extra fine nib, and the Pentel Brush pen.  I’d say I use the pentel more than anything else, they are one of the best art tools I have ever used, Highest recommendation.
