    I'm intrigued. What is transferred ink? They've all been good.

  3. thanks for your kind words!

    The transferred ink is a process of printing a mirrored image using a laser printer, then putting that print face-down onto the sketchbook and dabbing the back of the paper with xylene, then while holding the paper onto the surface, rub the back with a burnishing tool (like a spoon) so that the laser ink will transfer onto the sketchbook.

    I usually use either my own drawings or copyright-free images to transfer, and in the case of the last several posts, the images came from an old anatomy book.
