      It's not easy to apply all of the different gradient hatching for local color and shadows and form

      It really is like a juggling routine! Some day it'll internalize, but I know it's gonne take a lot more practice from me πŸ™‚

      Also, nice work! I love all the book titles (watership down must be a dark history for them :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: )

      I'll just look at your progress and it will help me when I take pen to paper, maybe

      It'll all be here once you're ready to start πŸ˜ƒ

      @burvantill said in How to ink group run through week 5:

      I think I’m done practicing straight lines for a long time.

      Those are some damn fine straight lines! πŸ˜ƒ (I wouldn't have wanted to use a brush pen for them either!)

      And the Marmot Pontificus Potentatus Supreme denouncing you all

      HERESY!!! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

      @Aleksey said in How to ink group run through week 5:

      @chrisaakins i want to see some heretic mammals.

      I'm gonna have to do some of my own πŸ˜ƒ

      @demotlj said in How to ink group run through week 5:

      Not only am I learning inking but I now know what a marmot is

      If you're ever out west during the summer you'll see them sunning themselves out on the concrete road dividers πŸ™‚

      @xin-li said in How to ink group run through week 5:

      there is a gap between grasping the technique and using the technique learned in the actual illustration

      I feel this way all the time. There is absolutely a period where you understand/comprehend the skill, but can't actually use it (I understand that green means go, red means stop and the wheel steers the vehicle but if I've never actually driven before I sure can't parallel park!)

          MY HAND IS CRAMPING UP! πŸ€ͺ
          I’m trying to be sooo careful that I’m gripping the brush pen like a lifeline.
          My project has become my homework.

          Oh, I also discovered that the contest that this is for us NOT a blind judging. That’s a whole other contest. Too many projects on my table, I got them mixed up. πŸ™„πŸ˜‚ So I can share this. Head slap

              @demotlj Laurie-I think the drawing, composition and inking look great. I love the image! And I agree with your intuition, is that it would benefit from some darker and very dark areas. When I squint at it with my eyes the way I did with the gradient strips--on a 6 point scale, you'd have 1, and quite a bit of 2 and 3, and a tiny bit of 4--and lots of room for 5's and 6's to b added. Make sense? I've seen @Braden-Hallett share in other threads his process of "value studies"--maybe if you did a really simple draw over and divide into only 3 values, that might point yo to where to put the darkest darks?

                @burvantill Well done--and i would have poked my eyes out LONG before I got all of those straight lines--either straight or done!

                  @xin-li I've really enjoyed watching your progress and very unique and beautiful take on inking.

                    @Braden-Hallett I think that little guy in the lower left if the one who hates to do the hatching on spheres. You captured his "muff!" just perfectly!

                      @Susan-Marks @Bricz-Art thank you so much for the encouragement, it means a lot to me.
                      @Braden-Hallett thank you again for organizing this course run through. I found it is so much easier to show up and do it when I know that I am not doing it alone.

                        I've been slowly following along--but do have (most of) this week's assignment done. Still researching the Zebolon Six Marmots--

                        I'm a bit better at hatching than in drawing straight lines. I hate hatching spheres than many here do. And I know little to nothing about how to draw shadows.

                        It's very inspiring and highly accountable to have these weekly assignments-with-friends.

                          Kyler indeed hates everything, including hatching spheres :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

                          They will be sure to give you a primer on their society on your way to the clover mines πŸ™‚

                          It really is a great way to keep each other accountable πŸ™‚ I know for a fact I'd never be able to work my way through the course like this without support πŸ™‚

                              I thought I was gonna have to post a sheet of felt marker lines as my daily as I looked after my niece, but I managed to get my sheet of practice lines in right at the end of the day!
