Getting A Blackbook

[MegamanX]

Anyone here try sketching in pen? I always used pen, and just used pencil for the first time in years. Damn it makes a difference. Or do I just suck?

[FadeProof]

what a toy.

yeah silly, you use a pencil. you're not going to be dope your first time and graf skills don't come over night kid. just sketch it with penc, then use pen/marker, then the 3D, then colors. that's all you need to know now. and everyone will tell you, dont mess with add-ons yet. till you get good.

just use normal paper till you get good then get a blackbook

ya wat he said

i didnt really have a first black book. i just sketched my ass off with paper and shoved it in a binder. soon as your art is "blackbook worthy" you can throw it into a notebook or pick up a sketchbook somewhere. i save everything, literally.

i have two blackbooks. they both were about 5 dollars. anyway, one of them i use to just mess around and see how other new styles work. the other one i use to have my best stuff like styles that i liked i would just pass it into that one. also if i do a tagg and there is no way i could pass it into the other one, i just ripp the paper and glue it in the good one.

oo, good idea, cause with scetch books i always end up having like 5 good pieces and a bunch of pages of dumb scribles handstyles, practice things...

[faint rem one]

i buy like 5$ ones. just ones that r cheap with alot of pape

but i want a good whiteboard to practice handy's n such.

so i dont waste paperrr.

[HYPE]

Just start off with printing paper when you get skillz just start tagging in a black book but be sure to put only your best pieces in it also have friends or crew memberz graff in it too. My black book is kinda like a big bible with blank drawing pages you can get them at Hobby Lobby for 15$. I also sketch out what im going to put in their before i actually do. :blink:

[Runk]

i jsut bought a sketch black book at borders. it has a lot of pages, i dont know how many though, it was 7 dollors

[-save]

i just get sketch pads from wal-mart, hobby-lobby, or any art store...hell or any art class room at school

[-save]

i agree with faint rem one that sounds good too...im gonna start to do that...b/c we have a huge corprate sized on for buisness meetings and such like stashd away sumwhere upstairs in the attick&#33;&#33; woot.. i <3 u faint...in a straight manly way tho

[Sire]

haha, manly way, right

anyway, i just took a expo marker and practice handstyles on school desks because they are polished and it comes of with tisue, it also is a bitchin was to waste time

but dont let people see thats its you that had the tag.

My blackbook is a Mcdonalds bag full of paper towels, napkins, and toilet paper. Sometimes I even piece on salt packets.

Somehow, I believe you. You are hardcore—a true artist.

[Sire]

yea that or just really unorgaized

[TheCrawlingChaos]

I take the leaves off of trees and press them, then bind them together to make my blackbook.

[Sire]

yea i like to make my balck books out of used toilet paper to conserve trees

[Sparti]

if u go to a borders that has one of those cafes, u can grab one of those nice sketchbooks, go sit down an take all the stickers and shit off, draw a bit in it... then walk out. I&#39;ve done it a few times and if they give u shit just say that u bought it like last week or somethin

[magic nyc]

I hate sketch pads, i would just buy a sketch book its only about &#036;5. Thats less than a decent marker now days.
