      @art-of-b I know, right? I am mostly concentrating on weight, then light. I am used to using technical pens. I could do those all day but I felt my work looked static and flat. I do like the expressiveness of the brush pen even as I have a whole lot less control. The only place I think I may stick with a technical pen is in faces, especially those that are small. I garble up the eyes a bit with the brush pen. Of course on my Instagram feed I posted the Mohawk and was feeling pretty good about it and then @Jake-Parker 's work appeared right under it. Nothing like a little humility in my day. Haha. I could do with some feathering and shadowing but baby steps. As I tell my kids in school, he's been doing this for years and I am just starting.

        @chrisaakins great start indeed! I would only recommend you find the right speed to move your hand if you move too slow the line comes out shaky and if you move to fast you may miss your under-drawing. use somewhat thinner lines for objects that are farther from the viewer. That's all!

          @heidigfx Thanks! Yeah, it is a matter of practice. I keep bearing down too hard. Thanks for the votes of confidence. I may keep posting my progress here.

            Started Ink 2.0 with @Jake-Parker tonight. Got a long way to go. But here is something I'm pretty good at in pencil. Freehanded as I listened. I thought the eyes turned out nicely. Those cheeks though. Maybe she has the Mumps.

                Hi, great artwork! I have a question about this course, Can it be practised digital with inking in Procreate for example, ir is it more for traditional artists? Thanks.

                  @Himangi Not sure, but I would guess, yes, if you have a pressure sensitive pen. And thanks for the encouragement.

                    Here is my latest practice piece. I asked my students what they wanted me to draw. They said a dragon. So here is my dragon. I picture him being old and blind and is warning a young hero that his actions are reckless and will endanger the world. 0_1536982268782_Screenshot_20180914-232906_Drive.jpg

                      So I started also doing the beginning painting with Photoshop. I am a brand new newbie with Photoshop. I am using a Surface book 2 with its pen. I don't know how to create an ink pen on photoshop. This was my first effort at drawing with Photoshop. I had an idea in high school to have a silly comic about superpowered dogs. Tonight I thought I would start to practice with a doodle about that strip tucked away in my brain for 30ish years. Here is HotDog. You can guess what his superpower is. 0_1538014110792_Hotdog.png

                            More inking practice. Metallic shiny objects. My hand is still a bit wavery (is that a thing?) with the brush pen.0_1538514768277_20181002_170858.jpg
