ink

My first attempt at digitally drawing two people from a reference and experimenting with various watercolor and ink splatter techniques. Comments and critique always welcome. ♡♡♡

Poppies watercolor with sumi ink and paint markers.

I started this with the Doodle Addicts Pre/post quarantine diptych drawing challenge in mind, but I didn't make the deadline (I started it on the day of the deadline, so it was a little ambitious!). The first half of the drawing represents before the corona virus and the second half is after the virus and kind of living with it. No pencil, just straight into the drawing with ink. It's rough, but I like how it turned out and there are some fun characters.

Birds perch on their octopus friend’s limbs.

This cool frog monster is a master inventor. Here he is riding through town on his homemade motorcycle.

Airbags deployed...RIP CRV 2003-2019. Drove this guy just short of 17 years. First new car I owned. Goodbye old friend.

I was testing a Rotring Rapid Pro 2mm and this came out. Inked with a burgundy Custom 743 EF, an underrated workhorse of a pen.

Drawings from the hearings from the last couple days.

Working on whales and I decided to color one. I'll add color to the others this evening.

Digital is great -- for composition and color. But for line art? I don't think I can ever give up the fountain pen. This was drawn with a Sailor King of Pen (M) and Sailor 1911L (EF) fountain pens using Pilot Black ink. Yes, sacrilege. Pilot ink in a Sailor. But I have some Kiwa Guro arriving soon!

"Nothing says tranquility like a cup of Oolong Tea." Inktober Day 3. Roasted.

My first submission to inktober 2018 on day 5. I'm not sure if I will make up days 1-4. It all depends on a wonderful thing called time. Arrrrgh!

Just about there with this one. Not sure if it works as I wanted it to!

Stickers I had printed up for art shows!

I don't always draw skulls and beer, sometimes I draw aliens too!

Always enjoy getting back to drawing the figure from life.

Playing around with drawing with the ink dropper, I really like this guy. And you can tell I took the pic before the ink dried because you can see the shadow on the page.

A series of images telling the story of Brothers Grimm's Hansel & Gretel. There are 8 images in the series.

Day 2 of #inktober2017 - Divided. My lemon guy tentatively volunteered for this word. Way to represent little feller. ;)
