Linda,

I've been holding the sketchbook up on my knee while on the train now and it's working out a little better. Before I was hunched over the drawing, which I don't like to do when drawing at a desk.

For the posted drawings, I was using a "Pigma Micron 05" pen made by Sakura. This pen gives me a slow line that I can control more and it responds to pressure - very nice for train drawing. I also use a "Uni-ball Vision" fine pen. Comparing the two, the Uni-ball is a very fast pen that can get away from you and lets out a lot of ink compared to the Micron. I've never tried the brush pen that you have mentioned, however I would like to give it a try. There is a Utrecht store two blocks from my work... I'm on my way!!

I've experimented drawing with all sorts of materials and ink - everything from broad brushes, wide caligraphy nibs, to sharpened sticks. There are few drawings posted in the gallery section of my website of these stick drawings if you're interested.

Thank you for your response and I'll post more drawings as I produce them.

Cheers,
