test colors
Here’s the inside cover of my new art journal/sketchbook. I tested some of the pens I’m using to see how they would react and how they would look on the new paper. A most happy surprise has been an old Bic Brite blue highlighter I found in a drawer. It makes the nicest color, not too overpowering, and it doesn’t bleed through even the moleskine pages.
I was bummed with the way the first page of the new sketchbook was glued to the inside cover. It was about 1/8 inch overlap in the gutter, which isn’t very elegant. The outer page of the first signature in the book has already begun to crack. That doesn’t bode well for longevity.
