          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. IMG_20190912_142422_749.jpg

                @burvantill @xin-li perfect, thanks! I'll try the colorerase pencils then. And I hadn't thought about the blue pencils, maybe I'll see how I like those too!

                  I really like the crosshatch with the micron 02. I focused more on practicing that today instead of scales. I did try and use the same values in the picture from the 5steps in the scale balloon though.
                  Tomorrow i think I will draw my own pic and practice on that.πŸ™‚

                      @xin-li Those inkwashes really do look beautiful! I think you may be on to something style-wise that's worth exploring πŸ˜ƒ

                      @burvantill I am jealous of your work ethic πŸ˜ƒ I have a really hard time doing all that hatching :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

                        @Braden-Hallett I know what you mean by that hatching thing. That is why I decided to try nk wash to apply value :smiling_face_with_open_mouth: Thank you for the encouragement. I have been itching to pick up wet media (water color or ink) for a year now, I found it very intimidating in the past. Finally, I have the courage to do so. I think being part of this art community and starting on cheap copy papers were the keys for me.

                            @Aleksey LOL Thanx! Because its a picture from a coloring book. I knew I was going to be busy this week so I copied out several of the same page to do my practice on. I think I will be able to squish in enough practice time today or tomorrow morning to ink one of my own drawings.
                            @Braden-Hallett I think I am drawn to the hatching because when I was young my mother had a print of an ink drawing of wine tasters that was about 18" wide and completely hatched. I would just stand with my nose a few inches from it and stare. it was amazing. Unfortunately it burned up when the house caught on fire and I have never been able to find another. It's called The Wine Tasters if anyone knows where I can get a replacement. I don't know the artist, I was 12 and wasn't interested in people. lol.

                            Edit: Just for giggles a did another web search (hadn't done one in about 5 years) for it and FOUND IT! Out of stock though, πŸ˜‘ but hey i found one. So theres hope. LOL

                              @burvantill ohhh classic. I think you’d really like a book i have called rendering in pen and ink by arthur guptil. Dejavu though i think we may have already discussed this book.

                                @Aleksey Its possible, but I don't rememberπŸ™„πŸ˜œ. I just looked it up and it doesn't look familiar. From just looking at the cover I think I would like it. =)x

                                  Daily ink wash practice. This one I sketched a bit (2 thumbnails instead of 50 :smiling_face_with_open_mouth: ) Splashing is fun, but I think I over did it. I also messed up the little girl character in the bottom corner. Next up, I should try nib for tighter details, and maybe try a toothbrush for splashing?

                                    @xin-li I really like this and I think adding details with a fine point would be very effective. I hope you post it if you do try it.

                                      I haven’t been as vigilant at my daily practice as I should be but today I did some digital work while watching TV. I feel like I must be much slower than everyone else because I never fill the page like you all do.

                                            @burvantill This is so nice. I love how natural your cross hatching is. Mine always feels too stilted. I think I need to loosen up somehow.
