whoa
sometimes i feel i have the blueprints in my mind to do anything i dream of, i just don't take the simple, obvious, logical stepts to make it happen.
for instance, i have always struggled with BRUSH PENS. and inking in general (i mean, i'm aite). i want to be a finer inker. specifically, i wanna have more freedom inking. not limited to micron sizes (ugh).
but i don't really LIKE or GET using a nib or a brush, or anything i have to DIP. i am too hyper for that shit.
and brush pens totally crap out within 5 uses. the tip gets all crappy. and in general i think i like a more firm brush. something that will give me some resistance. so a shorter, more tuff brush is necessary.
well, tonight i was like FUCK IT IM GONNA CUT THIS BRUSH PEN'S BRUSH A BIT SHORTER AND INTO A SHARPER ANGLE and it-- it worked. like, up til this point i believed i just simply couldn't do that, coz things don't work that way? but this thing inks like new and has great resistance, good flow, im pulling off all the fancy shit i wanna pull of.
it's like, duh? just cut the brush.
i feel like there are many things in my life (AND INDEED, IN ALL OUR LIVES) we can just "cut the brush" on.
