Been fiddling with any number of things over the last few weeks:

• Training in Illustrator and Photoshop, check.
  
• Indesign, not so much. I want to do something useful about that between now and next posting.
  
• Manga Studio, check. Managed to do a demo session at the ByMUG meeting yesterday, to boot. I could've managed the computer-projector interface settings better, mind you...
  
• Celestia, check. Astronomy software is a good thing for a guy working on space opera projects to have as a general rule. Whether you're writing or illustrating, that's a good rule to heed.

More as I think of it...

One small lesson

Learned the hard way.

Never use Deleter colour pens on Peter Pauper Press sketchbooks. Sure, the results look cool. But the ink goes right through the page. (Certain other brands of brush pen marker, too, while I'm at it.)

Prismacolor Premier fine line markers, though? That's another, happier story.

I still like the sketchbooks. I just need thicker paper for some types of pen.
