How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 3
-
@Erin-Cortese Thanks Erin! This course has been really fun because of the emphasis on practice vs. product (so far
)—It’s been surprisingly stress-free to let the playful side of my brain do its thing while the other side of my brain is observing what my hand is doing. -
The one thing that I REALLY hate about this is that it ACTUALLY WORKS and I am getting better so I really DO NEED TO PRACTICE if I want to get better. Ugh. My impatient self wants instant gratification with little sacrifice. I would much rather assign these exercises to my students than to do them myself.
(All of this is said MOSTLY tongue in cheek)
-
Some exercises from today!
-
Form line work with some hand control practice. Pentel brush pen.
-
I just did a few minutes ....will keep working on this exercise this week. Hoping my pentel brush shows up soon.
-
One of these days I'll settle on a hatching method that works for me. Today is not that day

I know, right? I wish i could better from the theory side of things alone, but nope!
-
@Braden-Hallett they all look fantastic!
-
I had intended to do straight line practice around the sunshine but life happens.

Hey all,
So tonight I had an awkward kind of realization while watching YouTube. It was a video about how this girls art work improved over the years and how for many years her work stayed the same and never really improved and one day her teacher told her with out applying your self to the basics and making a dedication your not going to improve and then it showed her work progressing over the years and getting better. And even though i have heard it 1000 times it really made sense and I thought of this post. I though about watching the videos in the class and looking at your guys work and I thought about it. I’ve been breezing through the videos with out doing much practice only doing what I wanted thinking I knew how to do this. Well I understood it in concept but not in application it made sense but I really had no clue. So I sat down and did three straight pages of blobs rewatched the form videos and by page three I was barely getting it.
So here is the end of today at page 3 of blobs and here is to the rest of the week practicing blobs and hopefully grasping this concept that I thought I understood
feeling a bit ashamed and I guess smacking my self a bit cause I’m only hurting my self by not taking the advice and doing the basics first!
-
I did the thing! I a good cat
I tried variations on tones using the pentel brushpen (not the pocket brushpen the regular ones) I really enjoyed doing the drybrush technique
-
Work, work, work...
Still have a few videos to get through of How to Ink 2.0 but I’m excited to get to the new one Jake just released. Anybody take a peak yet?Instagram: @daveleekart

@Bricz-Art which video is that?
-
Here is some homework. Pro tip on noses: make sure you have reflected light on the bottom and it will look more realistic.
-
Blobs of the day. I decide to stay with the pental brush pen for practicing. This is really stretching my confort zone - hatching with a brush pen. I am looking at Craig Thompson's Habibi comic. How is it possible to get such a consistent thin hatching lines with a brush pen.
-
Continued line practice, as well as hatching on various forms. That brush pen is tricky!
-
@Geoffrey-Anderson your hatching on the forms is spot on and well done. Although it kind've makes them look like leeches. Hahaha.

That's what I used to do, too. Once I realized that wasn't working I really started to improve
It's amazing how long I went without really knowing how to draw basic shapes :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: -

A faustian bargain
