Question regarding the tools needed for the course

5:33 PM, Friday March 17th 2023

Good evening, today I've got to an art shop to buy some liner, I did a mistake; I buyed a topline instead of a fineliner. What are the differences between them and can I use it ?

Thanks.

Can you provide more information about the pens you got? A photo of what the tip looks like, the specific brand/model of pen, a picture of the packaging - anything that'll help us identify what kind of pen it is?

Yeah surely; so basically I got this at a french art shop, it is a 0.4mm Schneider topliner (967), I bought that in unit so there's no real packaging.

I still took some photo ( I tried my best lol ).

(If we can upload photos in the blog tell me please)

So yeah, it looks more curved than fineliner I guess?

That does indeed appear to be a fineliner - the tip looks identical, so you should be good to use that for drawabox.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
