How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 3
-
@chrisaakins -I can see you progress-but I am stunned and envious of how you turn this practice/exercise into a composition with variety and interest. Love it
-
Here is my practice. You can tell what I've been watching on TV. Also footballs are surprisingly hard to draw.
@Susan-Marks thanks for your kind words!
-
Did some simple practice today. It is definetly starting to feel better
probably do some more but figured I better get my photo in before we loose power to this thunder storm 
This was my favorite for today
Thinking of doing 31 pups of october based off our 4 month old pup Cujo

I shamelessly stole practice ideas
When it comes to practice, there is no stealing, only sharing
-
@xin-li I think an ink wash is a great idea
kinda like watercolour but much more awesome! -

oblate spheroids are the bane of my existence. Yours looks pretty awesome, though

Little by little, slowly but surely
I feel exactly the same way. -

@Braden-Hallett thanks!
still thinking over how I wanna go about it but sort of leaning more cartoonish with costumes -
@ambiirae I like your balloons. I was having a tough go of it shading my balloons. Your dark one turned out good.

@Braden-Hallett I know. I never really tried doing ink wash. I often admire artists who can make something so suggestive, but looks so casual. It is almost like a magic for me. I probably will fail terriblely, but I hope I will learn a thing or two.
-
@Braden-Hallett whew, lol
Actually I was listening to the podcasts a bunch this week and a few times they talked about copying for practice as a way to learn so I figured I'm going for it ha ha. -
For daily practice today, I found some really old brushes (I think it was acrylic paint brushes), and practice ink wash on copy paper.
I actually bought some small watercolor board with an intension to try out ink wash. But somehow it was so much easier to get started messing around on the regular copy papers. Do you guys have "expensive art supply anxiety"?
-
@xin-li YES!
-
@xin-li lol we all do!
-
@burvantill thank you! I got the inspiration for yours lol yours looked really good but I got carried away and ended up having to shade the whole thing
guess it worked out -

I've spent enough money on fancy art supplies that have sat unused in my cupboard to buy a new tablet like three times over.
I sometimes have panic attacks when looking specialty papers now :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

So this was my attempt at shapes that I avoided posting last week. This was not my first attempt
. I drew the mummy because I was frustrated with the shapes, and that seemed to come more naturally. I really struggle to draw circles as you can see by all the attempts, and I find the other shapes almost as difficult for some reason. Something just goes wonky every time I attempt a geometric shape. The hatch marks are just as big of a problem. I feel much more comfortable with organic shapes and objects that I feel I understand. Going to keep plugging away.
-
@Erin-Cortese Shapes. Are. Hard.
Shapes are hard.
But they're also the kinds of things that you don't notice getting better until they're better. So it's gonna be awful and frustrating until it's all over until you what I mean
