Description Loving the Pentel brush pen...great tool, but definitely takes some work to master.  Gives you beautiful expressive lines, but also allows you to screw up really quickly. These are two sketches using magazine ads as references. Highlights added with a white gel pen. No pencil.  I like the effect of the brush on toned paper, but I need a better solution for the white areas. Suggestions?

i use the old fashioned way. "Windsor & Newton" Caligra Ink. You can use an old fashioned nib pen or prush.
