That accordion thing for the Microns is genius!

Thank you so much!

I learned many new things. I'm a beginner and the tips are useful. Thank you so much for the video! It popped on my feed at the perfect time

What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for so much information.

As a teen in the late '70s, I drew MAD-type satires of TV (esp. favorite show SNL) in Mort Drucker style on basic wire-bound drawing pads. I'd use the same kind of pen you showed in the beginning. Absolutely great for different line thicknesses, indeed! I use the "better" one for larger art (11"x14" paper), but only the smooth surface. Smaller... these days I'm using white card stock (8 1/2"x11" paper) for my web comic. I'd bought some Microns packaged together once, and I just use the plastic container for new ones I buy individually. There's parts that separate the pens by size (brush-graphic-12-10-8-5-3-2), and I use that plastic part of the packaging the same way you use the cool tray you made. Esp. helpful as I letter in 3 and 8, then use the 5 pen in the middle for drawing speech balloons.

Oh no! Im about to start a reread of Terry's works..... I'll combine them for continuity 😆

I remember having to paint a tree with watercolors in high school art class. My buddy painted his leaf sections like green cotton candy. I imitated his technique, but things went awry. To correct, I stippled over my puffy green swathes to build the tree canopy leaf by leaf. It turned out pretty swell as I recall.

Even easier for Microns. Add coloured tape at the end and number on it. Easy to find and you’ll get used to the colours.

Hi Terry . You look great . I hope Kathoo And Francine had a good thanksgiving too.

Thank you, Terry. Super informative and useful as always!

I really like your tips. Thank you so much.

Excellent video, Sir! I've used pretty much all brands of drawing papers for sketches and comic art pages but not as long as you have more for professional work just for my own hobby these past few decades;-) but using Bristol art boards from various companies now (Canson, EON, Strathmore mainly) and love both smooth and velum surfaces.

Great video, Terry. A weird addendum, being diabetic, I have tons of those little alcohol wipes you find in first aid kits, and they work great in wiping away the leftover bits of paint and ink off of palettes, ceramic or plastic. (Although the plastic ones will stain slightly regardless of how well you clean them.)

Great info. Is that an exacto knife handle you’re using for a nib holder?

Will you two come back Dallas Comic con?

Can you tell me where I can find the metal holder for the 102 nibs? All I am seeing online are the ugly plastic ones
