Yes, it's based on an exercise in Gordon MacKenzie's "Complete Watercolorist's Essential Notebook." All of my recent paintings have been very fixed with bold lines and solid colors, so I felt the need to practice something different and more fluid.

Wowporn posted:my friend got me some really nice prismacolor pencils for christmas and I don't really know how to use them yet but I drew a pokemon she likes because it was a very nice gift Art is tricky to scan on a desktop scanner. If it can go to a higher dpi, try that. If it is scanning in a preset mode for "photos" or something, try a different preset. I have an Epson and switch it to "professional mode" which makes the scanner not apply those presets which are usually for either photos or documents. Then I scan at at least 300dpi. It looks like your scanner is applying extra contrast, if you can find a way to stop it doing that, I think the details between the blended colors will come out. Here's a Halloween drawing I did in colored pencil and scanned. The contrast in the moon is messed up; I think desktop scanners just aren't the best at picking out detail in heavy contrast areas.

do crowquills actually get nice to use if you buy nice expensive ones, every time I've tried one I hated it they were always so spattery and would skitter around on the bristol and drip ink. That looks nice although I would recommend using a non sharpie felt tip since they tend to bleed worse than say a pilot felt tip

Paying more doesn't increase the quality of the line. I haven't had problems with spattering since I was 14 or so. It has to do with technique and not the equipment. I only used Sharpies on that drawing for the larger dark areas, the rest was ballpoint.

I'm not resolving to do more drawing this year, but I am resolving to take more of what I do draw beyond the sketchbook I might be closer to building that bottle jack press than I thought I was...

New to the hobby, so I'm not putting M.C. Esher to shame, but here are my two things I'm happy with. I like charcoal a lot - it's like graphite but way more fun and way more visually appealing.

I painted a Wolfman. Acrylics on canvas, sketched in with paint. I watched some videos on how Van Gogh painted and tried the techniques with this. I used this as my source. I already see some problems, like the hair on the back of the head around the collar, but any advice would be appreciated. I love acrylics, but I'm still very new to this medium. I usually stick to watercolors for my ink drawings.

Mister Kingdom posted:Cool. Thanks! It was 18" x 18" so it took some time to lay out and do the pen work (I use a dipping crowquill and ink). Probably took me...three weeks or so? Outside of work and school? I don't keep track. I just got contacted from this band from Scotland since they saw the cover I did for the band Droids Attack. Word of mouth stuff. They had some specific ideas about the imagery so I was using those in addition to blending in my weirdo linework.
