Cut & Paste IRL
Houston, we have a mistake! May be you can see the faint blue pencil lines. I don’t pencil sometimes — why I make mistakes.

Glue it on… the paper is too thin. Whatever. How I changed the second...

I used a Chinese brush and sumi ink. I actually did show what I use a few posts back. But here are a couple of better photos. I was using the brown one on the left in the video. The left is a large, the right is a small. It’s made from wolf hair. Both of these brushes are called 圭 (gwai) and they are made for drawing and not writing. They have very fine points. Price range is about $2...
