04. Had to do a quick ballpoint study after seeing that whodjacallim's ca sketchbook

Tried to focus more on hatch direction and accurate core shadows. Learned a bit, but still lacking control and still sucky. I think I learned more using pen for the study than if I was doing it digitally because of the extra forethought that I had to put in, so definitely a lot more pen sketching for me.

Don't know about everyone else but isn't it funny the fine line you tread between just a few more hatchings to get the right value and totally f*ing it. Ah yes ink. Love IT. :)

Day 5 babeeeeeey

A lot quicker than my last few... And still scary as fck woot

[JyonnyNovice]

Day 5!



Bit messy but learned a few things, namely 1) get the paper nice and wet if doing an ink wash - it dries so quick and edges can't be softened by adding water like with watercolour and 2) do the background first! I should've masked off the silhouette with drawing gum and got a nice even wash before detailing the figure. 3) adding drops of ink to wet paper looks cool!

greatdictator You were looking for how to draw beards before? I watched this yesterday and there is nice method he shows (from 15 mins in) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7biI9qGKYD4 (it's a great demo for anyone who uses a brush or brushpen). BTW I think your drawing looks different from the reference because of the chin.

[smrr]

Love it, Jyonny!

Day 6 and mega fail! :D

[JyonnyNovice]

It's nice Smrr, I love those light sweeping shading lines coming down it's torso and along it's muzzle, really tight ^^

My Day 6, not much time today because of work, just practising sketching directly with brush pen, playing around with ideas for a bigger drawing tomorrow (or whenever!). It's a fairy tale princess locked up in a tower surrounded by sea monsters.

OH DANG didn't realize this thread existed! Here's all mine so far.







I'm still figuring out what I want my drawings to look like, there are so many styles and possibilities...
since some people are linking inspirational artists, I'm gonna link a few of my faves. simple/cartoony is <3!!!

Anthony Holden
Earl Oliver Hurst
Tom Oreb
Shane Glines (NSFW)
Hank Ketcham
the ending of Tangled (designed by shiyoon kim, heavily inspired by Ronald Searle)
bobby pontillas
Erich Sokol (NSFW)

eh guess that's enough for one post

oh in my searching for those links I found out Shiyoon Kim made some neat ink style brushes for photoshop, you can buy em on gumroad if you want. I'm gonna @_@

[meat]

Sam: thanks for the brush link, it looks like great fun!

Amit: Yeah it don't take much to kill a pen or ink drawing on paper - just like glassblowing. One minute the vessel's coming along well, and the next second you didn't maintain the temperature right, CRACK goes the entire thing you've been working on.

Fern peacock. Unfortunately the recycled drawing beneath can still be seen:

05. Had to miss a couple of days. Hopefully will catch up. Should have used ref, and a pencil sketch, but it's good to know where the weak points are.

[JyonnyNovice]

Lots of great new drawings! Wicked stuff! Keep em coming! Great inks Sam, and thanks linking all those. Here's my day 7:



Shadow areas needed a bit more care, makes it look a bit off but pretty happy with it. Also need to figure out a good way to render waves and sea with ink.

P.S. To add another link for inspiration, I found a book by this guy in a second hand bookshop ages ago, he does social commentary from a christian angle, cool drawings https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=arthur...CAYQ_AUoAQ
