It is called smooth surface - although it's not the smoothiest I've ever used. It's nowhere near as smooth as a Moleskine for example. It's the best paper I've ever found - and not too expensive either.<BR/><BR/>Gillian, in this drawing I used Karisma pencils - unfortunately they have been discontinued. I'm not too fussy with the materials I use (anything I've got close by). I just use those cheap metal pencil sharpeners - I don't find they last long though so I go through quite a few of them. I do keep my pencils very sharp. <BR/><BR/>Cheers all and thanks for the advice Blisshill.andrea joseph's sketchbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074404376405604742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-81226313052678944952007-08-01T15:19:00.000+00:002007-08-01T15:19:00.000+00:00After scouring my nose across the computer screen ...After scouring my nose across the computer screen for the bazillionth time I have finally resigned myself that no matter how hard I look I will probably never see how you manage all that beautiful texture, and so I have decided to quit wondering and just enjoy enjoy enjoy.jujhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297173587055224228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-66207540194693593422007-07-31T22:58:00.000+00:002007-07-31T22:58:00.000+00:00Really lovely pencil work Andrea.Re: the size of y...Really lovely pencil work Andrea.<BR/>Re: the size of your elephant - When you scan or photograph in readiness for uploading, choose your size by pixels, not by inches or cm, which could well be sized to 300ppi. So re-size to maybe 600 pixels, and upload, and see if you like that. My laptop is 1920 pixels wide, but others might only be 800, so your elephant at 1600 pixels wide, would seriously overflow that smaller screen. <BR/><BR/>Wordy, but I hope I have explained OK.Robyn Rinehart Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082448618931397211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-91024759951325834622007-07-31T15:55:00.000+00:002007-07-31T15:55:00.000+00:00Fabulous ellie!
