Ok, now the weekly Dojo sketch is back as my son´s Judo training starts again.


This is Björn chief of a viking village with a bird (in the TV show style) from the 90s comic TV show Loggerheads.
There were only 26 episodes of them so I don´t expect somebody to know it, but they were quite funny.

Thanks Ptero. What artists book do you use?

Thanks Ptero. What artists book do you use?

I have several sketchbook tried already, and I‘m still in the search and try phase.
The two that I really like so far are:

Winsor & Newton 170g/m2 A5 which I use for the Dojo sketches.
It is white, not too smooth but still smooth, it gives dry media a good grip.
This is my preferred one for dry media.
It can also handle a wash if needed.

and second

Strathmore 400 Toned Gray 80lb (118 g/m2) 5.5 x 8.5 inch
It is gray with some fiber texture, smoother than the Winsor & Newton and even it is quite thin it can handle a lot of water and several washes.
It corrugates a bit when it is wet but not bad, the overall performance is amazing for such a thin paper.
It is my favorite sketchbook for ink and ink washes.
Also like that it is toned as white highlights really pop on the toned paper.
I just finished my first book and started today with the „swollen“ sketch a new one.

My son now has two days in the week Judo training, so here is the second Dojo sketch for this week.


What would be Lucky Luke without his loyal horse Jolly Jumper?
