Love it Matt, I recently have been working on a piece using these pens for the first time. When sketching, I had some troubles with inky spots on my paper. I wanted to ask around tomorrow on Live Classes and here you are!!!
Will sit, watch, learn andhave fun.
Thank you so much for this brand new course,
Buddy (who is practicing with purpose) 😉
