How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 4
-
@Braden-Hallett highly recommend trying out sumi brush. They are not very expensive, and they can hold a lot of water, and very soft. It is completely defferent feeling to paint with it.
-
@xin-li we use sumi brushes and ink here at school. They are very expressive, especially on rice paper.

I’ve been crazy busy with life and my schedule is falling apart a bit but trying to keep up with the linework warm ups still. I’ve got a few projects on the go which is stretching me thin but I can’t let go of the basic precursors. September/October/November is a BIG drawing chunk for me... can’t wait to get after it and share the work with my SVS fam!
-
Im trying to do it on this piece while keeping the textures in mind. Im still gonna do a wash but i think its convincing enough with the lines to indicate the candle is the light source
-
It has been quite enjoyable to not worry about the result, no pencil sketching, and just paint with ink.
I want to try with a bit more on doing planned illustrations with this medium, see how it works out. It is really hard to keep this "no worrying about the result" attitude when you have a planned image in mind. Suddenly there is a gap between your brain and what you produce with your hand.
-
@xin-li oooo i really like these washes they look so good. The variation in values is very clear too
-
@chrisaakins I really like Brush Pen #2 and Ball point #2. You have great control with the brush pen!
-
@xin-li These look great - really smooth transitions! I worked with ink washes for the first time last October and it felt a bit disastrous. I think I was expecting it to move and spread easier. This is a good reminder to practice washes! I love the depth that you got with the houses!
-
I have been practising. Finally noticing some improvements
-
@Erin-Cortese looking good to me. I love the variety of techniques.
-
@chrisaakins I like the ball points 1 & 2 and the brush pen 2.
-
Day 2. Tired as heck but doing it.
-
@Erin-Cortese really beautiful texture you have here. I love the hairy cup
-
Doin' the tone scales as part of my daily since I'm havin' a real hard time doin' them all at once :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
-
-
I liked the tubes so I copied. Surprisingly I like the mouse paw with brush pen best.
-
A few tone scales plus fun with circle heads
-
I did a value scale and then tried doing a cat. It would have been better if I used reference since I’m a dog person, not a cat person

Found this book at the library last night. It is a little beat up, but has some great supplemental information and exercises! I'm definitely a book person, and I have realized that in order to learn effectively I am going to need supplemental material to read on a regular basis.
I am beginning to get more pen control, yay!
-
@Erin-Cortese I have this book - I got it during last Inktober - and it’s great. There is also a workbook that goes with it although the book really covers everything the workbook does.
