How to ink 2.0 Group Runthrough Week 2
-
Daily accountability: this took so long I did not have time to do daily line practice, but this forced me to try line variation with a brush pen for a lot longer than I am doing in daily practice exercises.
-
@chrisaakins I also find “slow and steady” to be the most difficult.
-
@BichonBistro Nice! You're definitely paying attention to those contour lines and shape hierarchy
-
@Braden-Hallett thanks Braden! My hand doesn’t always do what my brain tells it to, but good to know that my brain is on the right track
I think I can, I think I can 
-
@MikeCañas fantastic job! Looks pro
-
@BichonBistro I love the little extra details on your T rex. Looks great!
-
I’m happy.
It’s very sensitive compared to a micron. For sure! I’ve been using a micron or small tip dip pen for so long, the change will be interesting. I used the brush pen on the fuzzy shapes as if I was using a micron and I really like the effect. And the FINE line! Wow. When @Jake-Parker talks about the light pressure like a butterfly licking his paper I didn’t get it. Do now. Lol.Lisa Burvant

I moved the daily inking practice to evening today, but I forgot my Pentel brush pen and the studio. This filt pen was the only thing I can find at home.
Even though, filt pen is much easier to get a consistent line weight, I felt something is missing with this type of pen. I get very satisfied when I managed a long smooth curve with a brush pen, but this filt pen does not give me the same kind of kick.
-
@burvantill I really like this!!! What kind of pen did you get?
-
@chrisaakins gotta’ cover up my wobbles
-
@BichonBistro Hey, you gotta do what ya gotta do.
-
@xin-li A the same time, though, the unvaried line quality does work with that style of illustration! Very cool.
-
@xin-li Cool, I like this approach!
-
Brush pen practice. I think I had the most trouble with the head and hair of the inventor girl.
-
@Geoffrey-Anderson your shadows are done as well as your lines!
-
Hi y’all! I wanted to do textures but I wanted to focus on the ones im having trouble with. Im using the “gold” tutorial on the etheringtonbrothers blog site I had mentioned before. Highly recommend!
Next one is gonna be actual gold objects like rings and stuff. This is also helping me with metallic surfaces.
-
@Braden-Hallett I know what you mean. I think that both process and the result matters, and especially the balance of the two. I am so glad that you organize this runthrough, makes it so much easier to show up and do it everyday.
-
I’ll do some more practice work with the shapes later but I’m catching up! Here’s my work from this week! What do you guys think? I feel like I have a hard time figuring out a middle ground between super heavy and super light lines and where they need to be applied.
-
Today's inking practice. 3 different characters from 3 different universes. Struggling with the details: eyes and hands are so hard with brush pen.
-
@Braden-Hallett Great job organizing a class-a-long!
Are any of you doing this course digitally? I'm working my way through the week 1 exercises, hoping to catch up. But I'm doing them in Procreate on my iPad.
