Hey Lab Members!
I’m continuing to experiment with Substack’s features, and a big one I’ve wanted to try for a while has been live video.
My friend and fellow artist
has used built-in live video in a cool way with his newsletter, so I was inspired to try it.My team, the Green Bay Packers, will play the Philadephia Eagles on Sunday, so I took advantage of needing to prep the header to experiment with live video, which you can watch above. Down below is the finished header, ready for tomorrow’s game:
When the sketchnote is completed tomorrow night, I’ll add it here with an update.
Finished Sketchnote
That is not how I would have wanted this game to go. Go Pack Go anyway!
Tools in the Video
I used a few tools in the live video, and I know people love to find new tools, so here is a full rundown of what I used today:
The Faber-Castell E-Motion 1.4mm Mechanical Pencil's barrel shape makes it feel great in the hand. The thick, soft lead makes marks that are easily erased.
Pentel Energel 0.7mm Gel Pen is my successor to the Pilot G2. It delivers dark, smooth ink. I prefer the capped version to protect my pocket.
Neuland FineOne Outliner Round Nib offers rich, permanent black ink. I like it for fast black coverage when using a thinner gel pen.
Neuland FineOne Art Gray 108 Brush Marker provided the gray in the Eagle head and throughout the sketchnote tomorrow during the game.
Prismacolor Kneadable Eraser for erasing pencil lines and stress relief!
The Sketchnote Ideabook is the sketchbook designed for sketchnoters. Its bright, thick paper can withstand almost any marker or pen.
The Sketchnote Handbook is my first book that will teach you sketchnoting. Get 40% off at Peachpit.com with code ROHDE40.
