How to Ink Group Runthrough Week 4

[demotlj]

I haven’t been as vigilant at my daily practice as I should be but today I did some digital work while watching TV. I feel like I must be much slower than everyone else because I never fill the page like you all do.

Day 5 of week 4. I’m looking forward to next weeks Light and Shadow. I think I need help in that department. How to add shadow without loosing the subject in all of the hatch lines

Omg everyone is getting so good at inkingg whatt

[demotlj]

@burvantill This is so nice. I love how natural your cross hatching is. Mine always feels too stilted. I think I need to loosen up somehow.

Things have been a little crezzy for me lately so all I'm gonna do is post some daily and echo @Aleksey and say EVERYONE IS IMPROVING SO MUCH!!!

Well, @Braden-Hallett been crazy for me too. I confess I have not watched the videos. I have been working on drawing mice and experimenting with ink combos. Here is my practice for what it is worth.

[burvantill]

@demotlj Thankyou. I would like to be neater but it always ends up looking like a birds nest to me.

[demotlj]

@burvantill You'd like to be neater.... I'd like to be looser. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

[burvantill]

@demotlj right

[ArtofAleksey]

@demotlj i think that comes with practice with the tool.

[Coley]

@burvantill that's really nice!

[burvantill]

@Coley Thankyou

[burvantill]

I want everyone to just stare at this, zoom in and stare . The simplicity of it and yet THE DETAIL. This is where I want to be in my inking.

@burvantill this is crazy, and cool

@demotlj thank you. I will try the nib when I get back to the studio on Monday

[ArtofAleksey]

Yeah Aaron Hokey and Mark A Nelson have similar styles with micron pens.

[Susan Marks]

@chrisaakins Well-this is all about getting ready for Inktober, right-I think you're spot on with blending inking practice with other preparatory activities. Smart! And I'm loving the mice.
And it reads as a cellphone to me.
