I do know some people have complained that the long List of Reviews sleeve can become bent over time, but I’ve never had that My Top Five Pencils problem.

But the long sleeve really is great for drawing and Erasers template work. Clearing A Jammed Pencil The push top ratchet mechanism is a fairly stiff “positive” one, Pencil Refill which I like. The mechanism only advances the lead a very Instructions short distance for each activation – about ¼ to ½ less than Online Retailers many other brands of pencils, and some non-draughting Pentels.

Lead Composition Non-Repro Blue I really like the look of the P205 in black - the black body, chrome trims and proudly marked “0.5mm Pentel P205” are a true classic look.

But I should have mentioned the P203. Yes, 0.3mm does seem to be in decline these days.

Flag Count From May 2009 I actually came across the P203 today in a stationary warehouse - or actually more like a unorganised gem shop. Thry had loads of p205/3/2 and also a white one which I forgot the model of but it had an extra bit on the barrel which said 'for film'. The lead was very dark and the metal sleeve was somehow able to extend.

Since 1940, The Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc. (“ACMI”) has been evaluating and certifying art, craft, and other creative materials to ensure that they are properly labeled. This certification program is reviewed by ACMI’s Toxicological Advisory Board. Over the years, three certification seals had been developed: The CP (Certified Product) Seal, the AP (Approved Product) Seal, and the HL (Health Label) Seal. In 1998, ACMI made the decision to simplify its Seals and scale the number of Seals used down to two.

  • Other Grease Pencils and Markers
    OTHER GREASE PENCILS AND MARKERS After writing an online essay about Listo mechanical grease pencils (aka china markers, crayon pencils, etc.), I took an inventory of all the other brands of “markers” that had stuck to my hands over the years. I found two dozen! When I stroll the outdoor and indoor antiques and collectibles markets in this area, I pick up anything that looks like fun and is in my price range, i.e. cheap - - Frank Dubiel (RIP) and I had a lot in common. (Also, if you’ve read my other essays, you know I am first and foremost an Autopoint, Realite and Realpoint collector.) So I’m going to show you a sort of “parade” of markers which 1)vary between mechanical instruments and simple “clamp the lead” devices, 2)use a wide variety of diameters of grease or crayon type leads, and 3)are made from various materials like wood, plastic, and metal. I’ll lead off with Autopoint’s sole offering first, then retreat to what I suspect is the oldest marker in my collection, and work toward the most modern of the markers that I found. A WORD ABOUT MARKERS AND LEAD REFILLS SIZES: Autopoint, Listo and many other manufacturers made “checking pencils” along with their production of “normal” mechanical pencils, especially in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Autopoint probably made a hundred different styles of “regular” mechanical pencils, but it also made a wide variety of “checking” pencils over those years. Most of Autopoint’s early mechanical pencils either used .046” diameter (“standard”) or .036” diameter (“real thin”) leads, but its “checking” leads were .076” in diameter (or ~1.93mm).

  • Principles of Cartooning I Jonathan H. Gray
    Principles of Cartooning I Jonathan H. Gray Room: 703G, 2nd Ave Building | Code: CID-2000-C | Fall Semester: 3-Studio Credits | Meet: Every Wednesday Time: 3:20-6:10 PM | Office Hrs: Wed, by appt (class or email) | Email: [email protected] | Web: www.jongraywb.com SYLLABUS: CID-2000-C – FS 18-SP19- Gray, J. COURSE DESCRIPTION AKA: What to Expect In this course we will examine the fundamental understandings and principles of the professional field of cartooning from a formal analysis of how the aesthetics of a comic’s construction can help to promote its content. We will become familiar with and experience the basics of cartooning as well as allow exploration towards the wealth of options available to you as you pursue this field. There are several things that the student is expected to understand by the end of this course: What methods and media can I employ towards creating? What is the story I wish to create and how will basic design, composition and functionality come together in my imagery? What are practical business aspects will I need to become a professional cartoonist? How can I employ and juggle critical thinking and problem-solving skills in both my artwork and my business? All areas of cartooning craft and writing will be covered, from page and panel layout and composition, to inking and drawing skills, to your thoughts and ideas in constructing a narrative and how they relate to the outside cartooning and cultural universes. Each student is responsible for constructing a narrative of their own device, keeping a sketch journal of their progress from start to finish and composing fifteen pages (minimum) of their story (or stories), plus one cover for it, each semester.

  • Evan Kitson Chromatic Drawing Materials List MATERIALS
    Evan Kitson Chromatic Drawing Materials List MATERIALS These are the materials that I’ll be using during the lecture/demo during the course. I use these all the time when I’m drawing/sketching, and highly recommend them: Pentel Hi-Polymer Colored Pencil Leads: Red and Blue These are mechanical pencil leads. I use the .5mm size, and even though they often break, the color is so wonderful that it makes them highly worthwhile. You can also get them in other sizes, such as .9mm, which breaks less- but I prefer the .5mm size for the marks that it leaves. Rotring 600 Series Mechanical Pencil This has quickly become my favorite mechanical pencil. It’s made entirely of metal, and has some weight to it, which I personally like. I use the .5mm size. Prismacolor Verithin Colored Pencils These are my favorite colored pencils. They’re vibrant, and compared to their “Premier” counterparts, they’re firmer and are easier to sharpen. I use the Terra Cotta, Black, Crimson Red, and Peacock Blue pencils. General’s Factis BM2 Mechanical Eraser It’s a white vinyl eraser that’s sized like a pencil. It’s one of my favorite universal drawing tools. Arches Hotpress 140lb Watercolor Paper My favorite drawing paper. It’s weight and sizing are perfect for working up a drawing and really diving in there without worrying about destroying your paper. I also really like the tooth. I use the “blocks”, personally, but you can purchase single sheets as well. These are just my materials- you’re welcome to use whatever you prefer and I’m happy to spend time talking about materials during the course! Some of these things are a bit expensive, so please don’t feel the need to pick them up just for what we’re doing.

    ‘Modern’ calligraphy has been making the rounds lately and if you're here — that's probably what you want to learn! But before we get all into the details, here's one thing you need to remember: calligraphy is not cursive. Cursive is joined up writing; you ideally write without li�ting your pen so you can write faster. While calligraphy can look similar, the key is to go slow and to break down each and every letter into its supporting strokes. THE BASIC STROKES ASCENDER LINE WAIST LINE BASE LINE DESCENDER LINE Or as some people call them, the drills! As dull as it sounds, brush lettering is made up of 9 common strokes illustrated above. With these strokes alone, you can form 21 out of the 26 letters in the lowercase alphabet — and some of the capital letters too! HOW THIS WORKS In Brush Basics, we'll be building your foundation right by covering all 9 strokes over the course of 2 weeks! Here's the schedule: On Day 1, you'll learn how to use your brush pen to form thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes. This is an easy lesson, so you have just one day to tackle it! Lesson 2 (delivered on Day 2) will cover underturn and overturn strokes. Lessons 3 and 4 (delivered on Days 4 and 6, respectively) will see you taking on the two di�ferent compound curves. You'll learn all about ovals in Lesson 5 (delivered on Day 8) — and because this is a hard one, you'll have not two but three days to practice it.
