I found Russell Stutler’s Book About Sketching this morning in my early early early in-the-dark  wishing-for-coffee (M makes ours) and joyful-that-taxes-were-done meanderings.

Not all “free” books are decent.  While there are dated links, Stutler’s his material is fresh.  I recommend visiting and looking around — I am buying a couple of different pens from Jetpens due to his recommendations (and the second gift for day two finishing taxes.)

Kuretake No. 8 Fountain Brush Pen

Kuretake No. 13 Fountain Brush Pen – Red Body

I’ll tell you how I  like them after I play with them.

A sample from his pages:

He does a demo page of a sketch from start to finish, which is a really good way for artists to show how they do things!

I will go back and look around other areas of his website and blog — highly recommend!
