How To Ink 2.0 Group Runthrough Week 1
-
Everyone’s work is looking great! I’m a bit late to that party as today was my first opportunity to sit down and watch the class. I’m going the digital route as I’m trying to learn it as my new main medium. What do you think of my bunny?

When I do practice linework in the morning I call it 'self calibration' It is very meditative
I think this phrasing is a lot better than something like "warm up sketch" (which then looks like a full image)
-
@Alicia Not bad! A lot better than mine would be.
On a general inking critique I'd make the lines a little thicker where the light isn't shining, so like bottom of the legs/boots. That's just me though.

@xin-li I am loving this. And I NEED to do this exercise. Work pending.....

@chrisaakins there’s something visually pleasing about this page!

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.
