chalk is the quick'n'dirty route & i love it. such a dirty, dirty shortcut. but it's meditative, working the chalkdust into the weave of the paper. paper is such a sexy medium. why do people fuck around with digital when they can learn something tactile? because it's no-muss, i guess. less time spent on prep & cleanup. less inclination to plan with caution? whatever. who am i to shit on a shortcut? i'm using chalk because it doesn't take thirty minutes of fucking around with layers & levels & erase & smudge & burn tools when i can just rub a piece of paper with a piece of chalk, wipe it down with a paper towel, and boom: sky. i love this shade. it's going to look fab in Azure Pantry. i'm not going to lay too much blue on Denizen, though. this is just for the facing chapter pages
