How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 3
-
-
Dip pen on Bristol board using orange ink. It’s great to have a reason to use all of these colored inks that have been sitting around. I also discovered that the hatching works better if I flip my dip pen over - I get finer lines and it doesn’t blot.

@chrisaakins Haha, thanks!

Okay folks after two hours of driving (my commute hour each way) ten hours of work, walking puppy, and cuddling parrots I finally got some time to draw.. decided to use the brush pen for my blobs today and quickly discovered I might benefit from more line practice with the brush pen so here is my mix for the days home work. Sadly not quite a full page I hope to do better tomorrow
now for some food and rest before the restart tomorrow!
-
@Aleksey thanx!
drawing those blobs the first day made me think of jellybeans 
-
I'm having SOME success imagining the blobs as really weird oranges. I mark each 'orange' into sections and shade one section at a time. Kinda helps
-
@Braden-Hallett i really love your shapes on the bottom the transparent sphere looks really cool
-
@ambiirae Thanks! Transparent stuff is always hit or miss with me
-
Really enjoyed this exercise, its beginning to helps me loosen up. I think I might make this one a daily for the next little while. Next up...shapes
-
@Erin-Cortese It helps loosen me up too! It definitely is helping me get over my fear of hatching
-
Didn't have much time so I did a bird nest.
-
@Erin-Cortese I agree that these shapes are the best for loosening up—good idea to incorporate into daily practice! I find the shapes more stressful because I have to think more
Daily accountability: (longer straight lines feel less wobbly and a bit more controlled and this is just week 3
)
-
@chrisaakins nice!
-
@Braden-Hallett great shape transformations!
-
@demotlj wow, what you can do with a dip pen!
-
@BichonBistro Thanks. Little by little I'm grasping the mechanics of it. Still a lot I can't do with a dip pen, unfortunately!
-
@chrisaakins Did you pencil the bird nest in first or do a rough sketch?
-
@BichonBistro Your shapes look so good! Mine are disgraceful, lol. Kidding, but they are pretty bad, and I want to work on them more before I post. You have great line control and sense of form!
