Sketching steps and tools question for el coro

[BadMange]

I love the vivid color you get in your sketches, as well as your style. Any chance you could tell us the steps you use from start to finish? Or better yet, maybe scan each step as you do it?

Also, I've searched the net for an art supply place that sells the brush pen you use, but was unable to find any place. Do you know where they can be ordered from?

Thanks!

Thanks, Mr. Brown. Jeez, I had no idea the Kaimei pen was almost $60!! And with weasel hair?? I'd probably feel better about paying that if it were sable, but not weasel hair...

this is a double post but heres some info on supplies i found through a search on google.

I couldnt find any alchol based inks at any of the art stores in AZ but i found letrasets website with online ordering. It looks like they dont have the same bottle... but maybe just a different packaging for the same ink.

I still cant find a kaimei brush pen that has water proof ink or ink refills. =( I guess im stuck with tomba pens for a while.

I also found this in a search i havent called yet because i dont have long distance at home... so if anyone calls and its true post a its true. Hi-tec C pens.

QOUTE:
"Some people have asked where they can obtain the Pilot Hi-Tec-C pen. The answer, one of them was able to confirm for me, is that you can order them over the phone from the Kinokuniya store in San Francisco: (415) 567-7625. I don't know how much they charge for shipping and so on, but you could ask them. "
