Spleenal
I’m otherwise known as Nigel guess.
I have what you might call a “normal job” which kinda soaks up most of most days.
A lot of evenings tend to get eaten up with my second job (which is drawing, so it’s not that bad) and other stuff so the only real time I tend to get to my self is the commute to and from work.
I usually write and do pencils on the bus…
The roads here in England are terrible. You can sketch and write maybe but inks and letters are a no no. The roads are full of potholes.
I work at A3 but you can’t really draw at A3 on the bus. It’s too big what with there being a seat right in front of you. So I work draw on A4 landscape. Which makes my page grid four panels high that way I can have the top two lines on one page the bottom two on the next page.
Spiral bound is best for this as you can properly fold what you’ve done so far under what you’re going to do without breaking the spine.
Most of the drawing and pretty much all the inking and lettering goes on the metro train
The ride’s quite a bit smoother so you’re taking less of a risk with pen, though there are still some crappy bits of track.
There’s more space too.
The pencil is just an ordinary HB and mostly I use a fountain pen a .7 iso rotring and a .2 rotring.
I tend to spend an hour a day on the train and about 40 minutes on the bus so it’s a nice chunk of time.
