Lore Ink Sketch week 1

 Trying to make ink sketches with a little narrative.  There is a bit more to the image but I'll leave it at that..

See ya next week

Lore of the Silver Hand: Ink Season (All Ink Tools) part 2

 For the Final Testing of the Tools, we throw in everything in terms of techniques.  We have Brush work for the hair, CrowQuill and G-Nibs for the body.  Details with Pens, Micron and Comics. Ink wash for values. Then finish it off with pens, Micron and Comics, for details and hatching and crosshatching.

Top: Tight Pencils

Bottom: Lore Inks

What Did I Learn:  I think I feel a lot more confident with the process, steps, and tools. Now I think is just a numbers game with doing a lot more to internalize what I learned.

Lore of the Silver Hand: Ink Season (all Tech)

 Testing our Inking Tools; today is the start of using all the tools in the toolbox.  Brush used for the hair, CrowQuill and G-Nibs for body. Details with Micron and Copic Pens. Ink wash for values.

Top: Tight Pencils

Bottom: Lore Ink

What Did I Learn: Starting to get into a groove with the tools.  Building off of the past test, I think I'm getting what I do, and my system for inking (for now).

On to the Next: All Technique Test 2

See ya next week

Lore of the Silver Hand: Ink Season (CrowQuill and G-Nibs, and Pen)

 We continue with the testing of the tools. So today is working with CrowQuill and G-Nibs, and Micron/Copic Pens for detailing and hatching values.

Top: Lore Ink

Bottom: Tight Pencil Base

What Did I Learn: I like using Nibs for those Live Lines (mostly for the outlines and locking in the character), while for details Pens get a lot of use.  Also, practicing Hatching was more fun than I thought.

On to the Next: will be CrowQuill and G-Nibs, Ink Wash, and Pen.

See ya next week

Lore of the Silver Hand: Ink Season (Only Pens)

 So this week I tried to ink only with Micron and Copic Pens.

Top: Original try using multiple techniques.

Middle: Pens Only (Test)

Bottom: Tight Pencil Base

What Did I Learn: I can ink only with pens, and it doesn't look to bad. The dark pants was done with hatching and crosshatching to get that dark. Ultimately, I like how this turned out and I learned I could do with just pens.  Cool

On to the Next: which will be a combo of Nib Pens, Microns and Copics.

See ya next week

Lore of the Silver Hand: Inking Season (Start)

 Today is the start of Inking Season what seems as an annual tradition, where I try to learn how to ink better and learn new skills.  Again, I'm using Lore of the Silver Hand (My Conan, wandering warrior type character); Lore is the focus to learn from.

So I done four images of Lore to test different techniques.

Top: Forth week: All Ink techniques (Brushes, Nibs, Pens, Ink washes)

Middle top: Third week: All ink techniques trial (Brushes, Nibs, Pens, Ink washes)

Middle bottom: will be Second week:  only Pen Nibs: Crow Quill and G Pen with spot blacks

Bottom:  will be Next week: and only using Micron and Copic Pens

So that's the plan... Let's Go
