Tom's Studio Lumos, Lumos Duo and Lumos Mini with Janice Butterworth

Tom Oddo of Goldspot Pens provided me with a Tom's Studio Lumos Mini for review. I passed it on to local Calgary sketch artist, Janice Butterworth, to sketch with for month. She joins me for an interview about how the Lumos system works and her thoughts on sketching with the felt-tipped pens. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
