Figured I might as well jump back in for the Inktober festivities! No theme or anything, but will probably mostly end up being portrait and figure studies. Playing around with different ink brushes and stuff. Day 1  Day 2  also a bonus doggo becuase he's a good boy

None of my inktober drawings are going to be "finished" drawings this year thanks to time constraints, but I am really enjoying prototyping ideas that I want to expand on later. https://twitter.com/McThrill/status/1179466327943196672?s=20

Did you say, skeleton? https://twitter.com/NelsBenson/status/1179762452717813760 Tomorrow's "official" prompt is "Freezing." What are your best tips on drawing ice, or things in ice, in only black and white? Googling about and mostly getting only colour tutorials. fishdinner fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Oct 3, 2019 |

Inktober number 3, this one cost more time than anticipated but lucky for me, I had some more time. Prompt is "Bait". All done with India Inkt and a #1 kolinski brush and oh boy, is that some next level poo poo.

In the future, maybe consider using a white ink pen or some masking fluid for the light on the surface of the water.

Completely forgot about that, I used to do that when using copics, but you can be sure to see some white gelpen further in the month, will put it in my inktober pile of materials.

I used to outline bright spots like you did in that post, and I reluctantly added white gel pens to my toolkit, and I'm much happier with the results. I really like the shading you did on your figures.

Alright, more designs out. Would appreciate some feedback on these, I can't seem to figure out something good myself. Still trying to somehow combine the triangle motif with a detective/cop/uniform and a futuristic feel. All while avoiding too much detail so that it won't be too busy for the low resolution sprite form.

 Right, starting to feel a bit less poo poo, time to start Inktobering! I'm planning to do costume studies for this year, I've been feeling like it's an area I'm pretty weak on compared to drawing naked peeps. lofi fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Oct 3, 2019 |

Shinmera posted:Alright, more designs out. Nice drawings! I would say that generally, sleeker reads futuristic. With that in mind, the billowiness of the skirt looks more like something from the past to me. For what you're going for, option D is the best choice, but you could probably dress it up a bit by adding higher boots, and leggings. Maybe a buttoned up version of the jacket?

Thank you! Here's the first drawing I did for comparison (the later versions are linked in that tweet)! https://twitter.com/rainbowfission/status/782428215516233728 Also I started doing a monster prompt list because it sounded fun and pretty happy with how it's coming out so far. https://twitter.com/rainbowfission/status/1179846779556237313 https://twitter.com/rainbowfission/status/1179872215963242498

Hi everyone, long time lurker and have now finally worked up the courage to post something. I went to art school, but years of working corporate after not being able to find work in a creative field drained my motivation to actually make anything for far too long. I would have creative spurts that would lead to maybe one or two pieces before the grind wore me down again. It's been super inspiring looking at all of the art in this thread, so last night made this drawing: No planning or sketching, just going for it with a pen was so liberating! I'm looking forward to my next one. heavy liquid posted:Figured I might as well jump back in for the Inktober festivities! Love these! Portraiture has always been one of my favorites.

Anyone else got trouble seeing twitter links on firefox? For the past week, I've been seeing a lot of posts with just .. nothing in them and I need to quote the post to see that actually, there's a twitter url link there but also sometimes copy & pasting it doesn't work because twitter hates me and the feeling is mutual. However, this does not mean all twitter links are invisible, just most of them and I don't know what the gently caress. I obviously thought about this 'cause I was copy-pasting your links, Superfly. The improvement in your dog-art is very visible, looking at the first pic. At least I got bait done today.

Day 3 - "Bait" I tried mixed media paper this time and my brush pen still bled. Gonna try watercolor paper next.

Water color paper is pretty much the gold-standard for wet media papers. A heavier weight (200lb-ish) hot-press water color paper is great for simple ink washes, and really doesn't bleed much. Cold and rough press work fine as well, but they have some texture and some artists don't like it. Really all papers bleed to some degree, it's the nature of the material. Smooth Bristol is actually generally not super great for wet media. It tends to distort easily and the water tends to pool on the surface. Vellum Bristol is decent with wet media to some degree, unless you get a very heavy multiple ply version. At that point though watercolor paper or illustration board are also highly recommended alternatives.

If all you're doing is ink pen, cheap bulk printer paper is actually great 'cause it's super smooth. You're very much limited with your pens though, the bigger marker-kind will still bleed on printer paper (I don't know if this has something to do with whether or not the ink is alcohol-based? some pens are just made to bleed  ) but if you stick to small pens or classic dip pens, it's great. Oh, also you can't do like any washes and also no big areas of ink or the paper will curl up in pain.

A good piece of watercolor paper will allow the water to sit in place or to flow, depending on whether you pre-wet the surface. It shouldn't bleed. Huh, seems I know less than I thought I did. I will try all this after inktober is over.

Different prices of Strathmore Bristol have wildly different quality. Yeah this seems weird. All of my ink drawings are on 300 series (the cheapest, yellow cover) and I've never had bleed like that, even with my brush pen (though I don't do wet-on-wet, maybe that makes a difference)

My Pentel Arts Pocket Brush pen bled when I did the outline of the worm. I pretty much only used it for that outline and then did the rest with my UniPens and did the wash with Yasutomo Sumi Ink diluted with water. The latter were fine, but the Pentel brush pen bled.  Look how fuzzy it looks from the bleeding. Keetron posted:Huh, seems I know less than I thought I did. I will try all this after inktober is over. Yeah, I use ink most of my pieces on watercolor and have never had an issue with bleeding like I have with these pieces. I never use Bristol paper because it buckles immediately with wet media, but this pad of Strathmore Bristol 300 series has been sitting on my shelf for over a year now unused, which is why I wanted to try it with these ink pieces.
