I remember buying a bunch of Flair pens and some cheap newsprint drawing pads in high school, because I wanted to learn to make drawings like Roy Doty in his Popular Science “Wordless Workshop” comics. In my mind Flair pens seemed like a good tool to reproduce his somewhat ligne claire style.
Then I discovered that you actually have to buckle down and put pen or pencil to paper to learn to draw, and I never did end up learning to draw like Doty.
