The Crafter's Cafe - Monochromatic - 1/1/2017

Happy new Year to One and All. 
Let's Welcome into 2017
Today is the 1st blank page of a 365 page book
Write a good one.

The sponsor this fortnight is

Creative Bug
Prize: 5 images

For this challenge I received "Birthday Dog" and used brown tones. Usually I use ShinHanart Touch pens and/or Copic.  But recently I heard about TouchNew pens, I have heard some negative reports, and statements like you get what you pay for etc.  but always being one to try for myself and I am not a brand following person, sometimes cheaper doesn't mean inferior.  I bought some Touchnews.

I bought the firm tip variety, mainly because I do a lot of small work and like this tip for getting into corners etc.  What I have found is they do not bleed like the other pens I use, they do dry a lot lighter and I loved them for large areas they appeared to go on more evenly.  Saying all that, I am not recommending them, just saying, I like them as an additional pen.  I also like the fact that there is a cheaper pen around for those and there are a lot, that run on tight budgets.

So here is "Birthday Dog" in all his Touchnew glory.
