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

 Watercolor Paintings

So, these are examples of larger works done from smaller watercolor sketches.  With the larger versions I go more into depth with colors and the build up and work in 3 Phases; to push the darks and make the color pop just a bit more. I love working in watercolor so these are always fun to make.
