Wow, I am really shaky with a digital brush pen

I feel your pain I find it a LOT easier to get a smooth line with traditional materials vs digital.

It's a great start, though! Those lines'll smooth out sooner than you think if you do them every day

Kind of meditative when doing this on paper

When I do practice linework in the morning I call it 'self calibration' It is very meditative

I really like the fading line hatching in the bottomr right. Looks really neat!

My daily practice will include exercises that require long lines, pressure and consistency using a technical or ball point pen for most

Awesome! Certainly a great start . I think your hatching's bang-on. It's crazy how much of a difference a push vs a pull makes with those long lines, isn't it?

[chrisaakins]

Here are some more lines and practice. I have always wanted to be able to use a brush pen to do the modern calligraphy but so far it eludes my skill. This line practice helps.

Are we posting our daily practice here? Or just once a week?

Ink warmups for today. Used the brush pen this time around. I must say, I’m quite pleased to see the improvement from the last time I used this sucker. I’m excited to see what kind of progress will come from daily work between now and the end of October.

[DaveLeekArt]

@chrisaakins looks good mate! Ps, I hope daily posting isn’t an issue because I’ve already posted for yesterday and today... oops

@BichonBistro good looking cross hatching page

[xin li]

@chrisaakins beautiful hand-lettering wow

[BichonBistro]

@xin-li agree!

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett that improvement is really incredible. Congrats for all your practice! Do you work on a cintiq?

@Kuarahy Sequential Art Workshop. A nice counterpoint to the classes and forums here. Much smaller community; they use a platform (Mighty Network) I'm not so fond of; and their discussion and classes focus on sequential art (comics and graphic novels, mostly). PM me if you'd like more info.

@chrisaakins It's amazing how fast line practice helps

You can post as often as you want, I think. This week is more 'practice them lines, dernit!' than anything else, so if posting keeps you practicing, then do it! In the later weeks we'll have more concrete 'assignments'.

I hope daily posting isn’t an issue

Not an issue at all Post however often you need to keep you practicing the linework.

Thanks I do work on a cintiq, yiss.

[Coley]

@Braden-Hallett nice

[Erin.Cortese]

@Braden-Hallett Excited that you are organizing a group class again! I am going to do my best to join in weekly.

[BichonBistro]

@Braden-Hallett accountability posting daily practice

Long lines the most difficult, especially curves—still working out what will be my daily practice to fill one piece of paper.

[MichaelaH]

@BichonBistro great work

[DaveLeekArt]

Really feeling this Pentel brush pen this morning!
Hope everyone has a great day and gets some solid practice in:)

[braden H]

@BichonBistro Keep goin Once you settle on what exercises to do on a single page it'll be easy to get it done every day
