Finally got around to ordering a new jug after many months since starting this thread. My art since that time has been ok but normally too fat and ugly and not enough fine detail.
First pour with the new one... OK Ive done better but its 100% or more on what Ive been able to do for months with my old one. Of particular interest in this photo is the detail in the leaves as I havent been able to do this for a while, not the symmetry which wasnt done well. Its the same type of jug I used at Epic so its not surprising results are improved again. I just felt so much more in control - the tip is a lot sharper so you can get right down to the surface, you can pour slowly when the jugs still half full without having it run down the front of the jug and onto the table (to avoid this I normally have to start pouring fairly fast which creates turbulence which messes up anything that might follow), and working with such a fine pencil I felt a lot more in control and could take my time on the art rather than having to rush it out to prevent any foam just glugging out and drowning it all.
Highly recommended. I might even start selling these jugs myself.
