Those are absolutely beautiful illustrations in your moleskin. They pop right off the pages!
Thanks Gerald! I’m getting a nice little collection of “reduced” masterworks.
The Faber-Castell brush pens are loaded with pigment.
This is actually a Handbook Journal. They’re very similar to a moleskin, but they have a cloth cover and an orange bookmark. They also have the elastic closure and a handy-dandy pocket on the inside back cover. I get them at Dick Blick.
