Things you don't know about this video: I still can't say parallel glider without sounding like I had 3 shots of vodka. Also: this video was originally SO LONG, I went in depth into every paper I've tried, plus tips on how to choose your paper size when you're doing a graphic novel (and why you should always go bigger in scale) but I thought "uhm maybe this is for another video?" haha
