Playing Around With New Toys

I have been fooling around with some new paper today. I decided, after testing both Canson and Strathmore Bristol, that there was no discernible difference, except that Canson is brighter. So I did a whole strip on Canson today.

I also bought some engineering vellum. If I recall correctly, this stuff is actually easier to work with than Bristol. Takes more erasures, and you can scrape mistakes off with a knife.

I don't know why cartoonists don't use it. Maybe because it's not very white. But that shouldn't matter, now that it's so easy to lighten an image.

I think my inking is improving.
