How to ink group run through week 6

[ArtofAleksey]

@Susan-Marks thanks! Yeah its a class at the school of visual arts in nyc. Its a continuing ed class. $400 for 3 months. 1 night a week. Basically we bring it a sketched page and an inked paged every week and have it critiqued.

@Erin-Cortese Great job! I like how you are able to get value ranges with your textures. Bravo!
I’m struggling with that.

[TessaW]

@Erin-Cortese Beautiful job! That is so satisfying to look at.

@Aleksey This is great. It must have taken you forever to do all those scales

[chrisaakins]

@Erin-Cortese Wow! These are SOOOO great!

3:30 am here and I woke up to draw it's turning into an addiction of sorts lol!

Damn I'm not THAT dedicated. I'm up at 5:00 am. Maybe I should push for 330 :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

my mind freezes trying to choose what sort of line to put down for each part of the illustration.

I feel your pain! I think this is one of those things where after enough practice (targeted practice) it just kinda... happens. And you won't notice until it's happened

[braden H]

@xin-li Damn that's beautiful! I let out an audible 'ooooooooh!' of appreciation when I opened up the thread this morning! I really think you're workin' on a winner style-wise here

I feel like this, but each ball I’m juggling has a different project name on it

I've got a few things on the go, too It's crazy how thing tend to pile up!

Thank you again @Braden-Hallett for putting this together. The two classes that I feel like I have learned the most from are the ones that you organized on the forum. It makes me realize how much I need structure, daily drawing, and assignments. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, BIG thanks

You're most welcome I'm you're getting a lot out of these run-throughs! I get at least as much out of them as well.

Also, I am most jealous of your texture work

[ArtofAleksey]

@demotlj oh no! the trick is you lay down a "road" for the scales to follow in pencil, then quickly go in and make some scales. Nice and loose. The best area for it I think is the eye the rest was just filler.

Here are my texture forms.

@chrisaakins haha mouse

[Erin.Cortese]

@burvantill @TessaW Thank you! ️

@Erin-Cortese this is so neat. Beautiful textures. Also love the typography for TEXTURE.

[xin li]

@burvantill Thank you so much.
@Braden-Hallett Thank you. I really do not know where I am going to take this style/technique next. I do not think I have allowed myself to paint so loosely before. Right now I just paint one picutre at time, building up quantity of work before figuring out where they belong to. I am consider incorprate watercolor, or playing with colored ink.

[Erin.Cortese]

@Braden-Hallett That is high praise, thank you

[Erin.Cortese]

@xin-li Thank you, I had fun with this one!

[chrisaakins]

And saw this flower today. Echinacea. How's this for texture?

[demotlj]

Not very exciting but I have completed the assignment. On to the extra credit.
