I'd probably have to redraw the nibs though - some of them are rubbish. <BR/><BR/>Mariana - do you mean what is the picture or the sketchbook for? The sketchbook is just for pen drawings (I've decided!). <BR/><BR/>As for the picture - well I kind of intended it to be like the inside (fly?) covers of old books. The kind of thing that had lots of little drawings - now they really float my boat!<BR/><BR/>Cheers everyone.andrea joseph's sketchbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074404376405604742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-69272997606982412472007-03-23T17:05:00.000+00:002007-03-23T17:05:00.000+00:00a very fun drawing indeed.

I'm always so hesitant approaching the first page of any new blank book and you've done a great job. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I discovered that there are a few types of moleskine: the "blank journal" has thin pages that bleed through, the "sketchbook" has thicker pages that are great for any medium that doesn't take too much water ... which should be used in their "watercolour sketchbook"!<BR/><BR/>P.S.: What IS it for?mranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347841296818869671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-44366305423569714602007-03-23T07:05:00.000+00:002007-03-23T07:05:00.000+00:00This is amazing, the drawing makes a pattern that ...This is amazing, the drawing makes a pattern that is just wonderful. I´d go for a wrapping paper too, it´s beautiful! <BR/>Congrats on the Moleskine. I have one of those, but I´m not a fan of the paper, it has too much resistance to watercolors for me. I hope you like it though, it´s a good format sketchbook, easy to take along everywhere. Looking forward to seeing more of the things you do in it!Nina Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861767400733778212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-42224809568251170712007-03-23T01:42:00.000+00:002007-03-23T01:42:00.000+00:00Wowee Andrea...How long did this one take?

I'm confident that your subsequent drawings will be lively and charming like all of your work.<BR/><BR/>Karen, I have a question for you: how do you get the watercolour to perform. My watercolour always beads on the page, I have to scrub it in with the brush, and then it soaks through.

Way to go. I'm almost done with my first Moleskine, and i did mess up a couple of drawings, but heck. That's part of what my stepfather calls "the anecdote". I don't know Pitt pens, but i draw with my super dark Pilot pen and i always use both sides. <BR/>Love the inventory of quills. <BR/>Welcome to Moleskine, Andrea. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34905653.post-3152199851051190122007-03-21T18:43:00.000+00:002007-03-21T18:43:00.000+00:00What a wonderful solution for starting a moleskin ...What a wonderful solution for starting a moleskin - I always leave the first page blank.
