Personally, I would not use a gel-pen for extensive drawing. They are very comfortable for writing, but they do not have the proper feel (to me) for drawing/sketching.</p> <p>As far as your use of things, I understand that Molskine's take watercolor very well. What can it hurt to try a page or two ?</p> <p>There are no Rules. Find what works for you and run with it.<br /> -----------------------------------<br /> "I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."

While it felt okay to write, it looked very bad.</p> <p>What do you do in your moleskine? do you draw as well???</p> <p>I have three journal type books</p> <p>my black scrapbook, where i cut things out and glue them in... black paper --looks good. ITs usually outfits i like and singers and stuff. I have a square book i use as a visual journal, but the paper is quite thin so isnt great for water colours but its okay... and i use watercolour pencils to reduce any effects or whatever.<br /> then there is my moleskine.<br /> i write songs and poems in there... and thoughts, ideas, feelings...<br /> its a real journal... well traditional journal...</p> http://www.diyplanner.com/node/2847#comments Notebooks &amp; Notetaking Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:29:38 -0400 ajay 2847 at http://www.diyplanner.com
