I like the Signo pens better than the Gelly Rolls now too. The UM-153 is great for some serious lines, but it puffs up a bit and makes it harder to shade.CharKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448125085338998164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890635368370889578.post-70181272483437261182014-06-20T16:14:55.646-04:002014-06-20T16:14:55.646-04:00Thanks.Thanks.Tangles and Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572229610003108341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890635368370889578.post-12010763953213493662014-06-20T10:46:39.679-04:002014-06-20T10:46:39.679-04:00This looks great!

They make a micro in black that is a .38. Unfortunately, I do not think they can use this in the white. Think it is always good to keep either a tissue or a piece of scrap paper around when using the white gel pens so can deal with whatever happens.

I too find the shading tricky to do on the black tiles. I do like that finer line though on the pen that you used. Does that pen skip much while you are using it?
