Thanks for the tip on Illustrator, but I find it far quicker to draw by hand with tech pens, then touch up later in Corel/Illustrator, than scanning pencils and drawing over in Corel. I can't get the 'feel' of the object across using a mouse or tablet.
Quicker that is until they all go splat and I lose time and money....two days of stripping and soaking and I have one 0.25 in working order. For now. The 'agitating wires' are seized up in the nib 'sleeve' so I can't get the last bit of dried ink out. What's in the stuff Rotring used to sell to de-clog nibs?
AAIS? I'm a member of too many organisations, all wanting their necessary subs! If my illustration work continues to grow, whilst other sectors diminish, I may join.
