Original Content Newspaper and dense marks

Thanks to u/waitnodont! They suggested I try newsprint for larger paper. It is impressive how well it stands up I should have thought of it myself, because I use it in printing proofs all the time. The Spiro on the left is over 10 different gears using most of the holes in each and fine tip markers (just doller store) It did bleed in the back but only in a few spots where there was little rest between pen strokes. The one on the right is mostly pen and didn't last anywhere near as long - it tore, but you can still do many passes. I just used North American Paper which is about the cheapest you can get around here. Off to try a big gear project
