I'm starting to wonder if a lorra lorra comickers listen to Adam and Joe there could be Stephen-age at comic cons. but I think I'm too scared to try it XD

Thanks for humoring me on that one ^^;

yeah i think stephen-age may be getting old. Although someone did it at the Q & A after the Attack the Block screening at the brixton ritzy.

Next time I go to a con i'll just shout the Taffin line.

I have heard of this "nibs going bad" problem, but have not experienced it myself (perhaps from lack of prolific drawing). Can you describe, why, in God's name, you'd have to throw out a nib after a couple large drawings?

By the way, the drawing is gorgeous and I loved every loving minute of this tutorial.

Maybe i shouldn't have said a couple, it's more like 5 or 6 big pictures, and i'm talking big detailed pictures. You get your money's worth, I just find that they eventually can't go from super thin to super fat and can only go super fat. Even worse is when they get to the point where they just decide to splurge out a big fat splodge of ink onto the page. This is rare though.

Gotcha. I also have read that manufacturing quality has a lot to do with this. I've been using sexy antique nibs and they just seem to last 4evr.

thumbs up.

Hey thanks!
I found 102s pretty easy from the start. New nibs tend to resist a bit more (you have to push harder to get a fatter line), but generally, out of all the nibs i've tried, the hunt 102 is by far the easiest to use.
