Traditional day, today. I did this while I listened to the 3-point perspective podcast on transitioning from another career. Perhaps I should keep my day job...
I must confess that I get a little impatient drawing straight lines, even though I really enjoy hatching in creating values. I thought today, Hey! why not draw a face and see if you have gotten any better since this straight line stuff is boring? Well, it seems if I am concentrating on my lines, they are great (well, better anyway), when I am concentrating on a picture I am not so confident. I think it is what I am always telling my students. "Don't see it as a face, see it as a series of lines and shapes. Maybe I need to listen to my own advice as an art teacher. Even so, it IS improvement.

@chrisaakins omg i met someone once that enjoyed stippling I was like. What? Why? But it did look cool... yeah I hope you dont feel bad about not quitting your day job. I’m not either and am going to try to gradually transition into a job that is closer to publishing or art or printing.

@chrisaakins this looks great!

I did this one in Paper while watching TV. (It was a mystery and though I got a lot of inking practice, I missed why the killer did it!) I like doing the dip pen better but boy is digital faster

@Aleksey I know, right? You should try teaching stipling to 36 high schoolers all pounding ink pens to death. It's painful on so many levels. But it does look cool.
@BichonBistro Thanks! You are so encouraging!
-
@demotlj these look great—what pen did you use? Or a variety?
-
@chrisaakins I am trying to imagine teaching anything to 36 high schoolers

@BichonBistro I used the fountain pen in the Paper app. I usually use Procreate for digital work but for sketches I sometimes use Paper to keep things simple.

@demotlj what? It is not a physical fountain pen on a physical paper? I did not suspect. looking good.
-
@xin-li Paper is a fun app for that kind of thing. No ability to do layers but its tools feel pretty real.
-
@chrisaakins i do not envy you, may i suggest either muji pens, or those gel ink pens or ball point pens to cut costs and also not be sad about kids ruining art supplies

@Aleksey we use sharpies
-
@chrisaakins ohh haha nevermind
-
@demotlj I’ve actually used white paint for small corrections. It’s worked for me & isn’t very noticeable
-
@chrisaakins I’ve found the size of the canvas, pixel ratio makes a lot of difference. I’m using. 5k by 7k canvass at 132 dpi. How about you?

haha what a thread!
Everybody doing the ink exercises. Love to see that! It is challanging and fun. Maybe I will share mine later.If You wanna get more in depth into inking I definitely recommend Rendering in pen and ink by Arthur Guptill. Excellent book.
