How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 4
-
I have been practising. Finally noticing some improvements
-
@Erin-Cortese looking good to me. I love the variety of techniques.
-
@chrisaakins I like the ball points 1 & 2 and the brush pen 2.
-
Day 2. Tired as heck but doing it.
-
@Erin-Cortese really beautiful texture you have here. I love the hairy cup
-
Doin' the tone scales as part of my daily since I'm havin' a real hard time doin' them all at once :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
-
-
I liked the tubes so I copied. Surprisingly I like the mouse paw with brush pen best.
-
A few tone scales plus fun with circle heads
-
I did a value scale and then tried doing a cat. It would have been better if I used reference since I’m a dog person, not a cat person

Found this book at the library last night. It is a little beat up, but has some great supplemental information and exercises! I'm definitely a book person, and I have realized that in order to learn effectively I am going to need supplemental material to read on a regular basis.
I am beginning to get more pen control, yay!
-
@Erin-Cortese I have this book - I got it during last Inktober - and it’s great. There is also a workbook that goes with it although the book really covers everything the workbook does.

Quick question: I tried inking over some colored pencil sketches with a Pentel brush pen, and it seemed like the pencil kept the ink from soaking in. Has anybody noticed the same thing? I'm planning on sketching out my drawings for Inktober before hand, but maybe I need to use something other than my usual colored pencils. . . Maybe I happen to have especially waxy colored pencils. . . I'm going to try a few different things and see if anything works better, but if someone's already familiar with this I'd love to hear about it!

@Kuarahy I believe @Jake-Parker said that he uses the Colorerase pencils because that doesn’t happen. It was in ... I can’t remember correctly. I think the how to draw everything class, but I’m not sure. I’ve watched so many
. I’ll try and find it.
Anyway, I have the same problem, I use cheepo crayola pencils and they resist water too. I haven’t bought the colorerase pencils yet because I haven’t used up my crayolas and I’m frugal. Lol.Lisa Burvant

@Kuarahy I have tried colorerase pencils before. They are very different from the normal waxy pencil. If you are planning to sketch for inking, colorerase penicls are great. Blue lead pencil also works(now you can get other colors than blue as well).
-
@Erin-Cortese the author has a youtube channel as well. great resources for inking especially
-
@demotlj so good. such a delicated lines, and beautiful tonal.
-
Revisiting cheap drawing paper for ink wash practice yesterday. For these small sized paintings, cheap papers actually do pretty ok job.
-
Yesterday homework done this morning. The universe added a couple more things to my to do list yesterday and didn’t give me a heads up so I ran out of time. I hate it when the universe does that.
Today’s homework will be posted very much later tonight.
-
Here is today. I may do a mixed media approach this year. Maybe brushpen, micron, alcohol marker, and gel pen.
