How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 3
-
@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!
-
@Erin-Cortese I freehanded it. And I appreciate how you and @demotlj and @BichonBistro and @Braden-Hallett are such cheerleaders for our group, offering up up words of encouragement to everyone. You are keeping us pumped! Thank you!
-
@chrisaakins Awe thanks, I’m glad I can contribute in some way! Seeing everyone’s progress is really inspiring. Your inking skills are great! I’m amazed that you did the bird nest freehand, it looks fantastic.

It doesn't take long at all to develop more control when you do it every day
Awesome shapes there! -
I think I’m getting better with the brush pen. I’m going to focus on the beginning and end of my lines tho because I get a little hook when I rush, with all pen tools unfortunately. When I slow down and focus it doesn’t happen. I’m hoping that muscle memory will take hold.
Just keep inking just keep inking
