Return of the Sketchbook Journal

After a bit of a hiatus, I have returned to documenting my life in a daily sketchbook journal.  I think my recent mood (and a whole whack of new art supplies) finally gave me the impetus to start it up again… We’ll call this my Rapidograph period.

Love the sketches.

by they way, i have the worst luck with rapidographs. i used them bunches in college, and 10 years later decided to get back into it. I bought a tiny size (the pink one) and can’t get it going. is there some kind of trick? i’ve followed the directions to no avail. Any tips would be much appreciated! thanks!

Hm… can’t think of any tips, really, but the pink ones are really small and fine… do you get any ink out of it at all?  (you put ink in it, right? smile

man, i had high hopes that you would have some great wisdom to impart. ah well. ink kinda came out, much like a pen that’s run out of ink.... maybe in another 10 years, i’ll have the patience to try again.

If it’s a new pen, then maybe you can blame the ink… don’t give up!  Giving up is for quitters!
