These two are really cool. Do you start with the brown pen and then move to the ink pen for detail? Or is it the reverse and the brown pen is only used for shading?
Also I found that a white jelly roll pen that works really good, just curious as to what you use.
It's pretty much a back and forth. I start with the watercolor brush pen (brown ink) and do a quick lay-in. Then I go after the silhouette with the ink pen. Then I go after volume with more ink. And finally the white to make the image 'pop'. I haven't yet coughed up for the white pen, here I'm using a white charcoal pencil. But my preference is the white gouache -- but I haven't found a good way to travel with that yet.
• Label your posts like this: month.day.year Name. For example, 08.17.09 LWhite •The goal is least a full page in a sketchbook per day • Any subject matter, media, level of finish is fine • You should post at least every three days • Pages should be dated • The overall goal for the sketches is to have fun and to draw when the moment or opportunity presents itself. Also to encourage experimentation and interpretation. The goal is NOT for every page to be pretty.

Oke, Now you owe the design of a cupid with a scythe.
