Thought I'd post some stuff here. I like me some lines, most of the time with a crowquill and ink, sometimes with a plain ol' ballpoint. All of these are colored digitally but I always start traditional so these are the B+W versions.

Beautiful stuff, I digs. Here's a little baby dragon I drew. I made him kind of bird-like because of the supposed evolutionary link between birds and dinosaurs, and dragons are kind of like dinosaurs. Usually use a crowquill but this one was ballpoint. Edit: Image ain't workin, phooey.

sigma 6 posted:Woah - what kind of pen? That's some crazy detail! Thanks. I used a Hunt 102 Crowquill with Black Magic ink for much of it, and for some of the smaller fur detail I used a regular old Uniball Roller pen. I "erased" details like her whiskers out of the black parts with a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen, those are awesome.

Frozenpussy posted:What's the colored material(s) and how is it lit? What's the sculpted material? It's a weird mixed media thing I've done before. The colored material is glass. I epoxied it to the back of the panel, which is made out of MDF panel that I cut with a jigsaw, then I used sculpy (polymer clay) on top and epoxied that to the MDF panel and filled in the cracks with spackle. It's lit with some little lights I got at Joann's I think, wedding things. I suppose it would be a lot easier if I just made it in Zbrush and got it 3D printed, there would be far fewer imperfections, but I like the tactility of using my hands. I mean, I'm not the best sculptor in the world (I draw a lot more) but these projects are fun! I attached an earlier one I did for a "study on love" show we did here in Madison, where each artist was supposed to create a representation of whatever "love" meant to them. I did an abstract symbol that has two sides joining together. sigma 6 posted:This is pretty fantastic! Thanks!

snaeksikn posted:im calling this one finished. i could spend a fair bit more time on the background but i think i've gotten out of this one what i wanted, time to get some new brushes and start on the next one! Well done. I do like the updated background better. I have an old painting I have to finish with the same deal, central figure is good but I'm not pleased with the background.

sigma 6 posted:Did you put pen over pencil in that snailgon piece? Hard to see any pencil marks. I sketched it very loosely in pencil and drew over it with the pen, I don't do tight pencils like a comic book artist might. I just put the utensils in there because it's like an Instagram thing apparently to show your tools in the pic. Personally I like to scan and crop my art so it looks like a finished piece proper for printing, but IG is the best place I've seen so far to get people to see your art so I'm doing as the Romans do. Just gotta hashtag the gently caress outta the posts. I dig the smoke swirls on that blacksmith design, at first I thought it was Thor and his hair was all flyin' around and poo poo.

Cool. I like that it's designy and iconic with the shapes and colors. Timelapses are all the rage these days so I thought I'd do one.

I dig it. I love paintings where color substitutes value, especially in the tasteful way you used it. The only time it goes bonkers is when you see the Alex Grey wannabes whose DMT-trip paintings are a technicolor mess.

Stan took 5-6 hours and Bernie took 4-5 hours. I'm a hermit so I did those on a couple of Saturday nights instead of going out. "Being social," pssshhh

dog nougat posted:Good to know. I've advertised that my pieces are for sale on my Instagram. So that's a start I guess. Storenvy is like Etsy except it's free. I haven't sold much on there but you can hook it up to your Facebook page. Tagging on Instagram is the best way to spread your work around -- most of the big art pages will only feature boring super-realistic drawings that are essentially 1-to-1 copies of photographs. Many of them are just huge collections of "realistic eye drawings." A lot of those pages sell features though, so for like $3-5 you can reach an audience of thousands to sometimes millions. You can also buy a targeted ad campaign on Facebook for your art page and you'll get more likes. It'd be nice to just be able to propagate your brand through word of mouth but the market is so saturated with art that sometimes you need a boost with advertising. I'd recommend epingo.com for prints, at least for large-scale. I've gotten lots of 20"x20" matte prints from them that turned out great.

I do the basics and spread the tags around to get as much attention as possible. You can do thirty tags total in a post. Basics: #art #drawing #illustration #comics #comicbook #surreal #painting #abstract (these depend on your genre) Specific tags, I switch them up a lot (I'm not affiliated with any of these): #arts_help #art_collective #art_prime #artworld #art_spotlight #artsupporting #artspipl #drawsofinsta #artsanity #artdiscover #talnts #dailyart Sometimes I throw in a completely unrelated tag so it'll get out to a totally different audience; I tagged the weird comic below with #fitness and a bunch of fitness accounts started following me, haha.

Wowporn posted: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 I've used crowquills for like 25 years. Regular Hunt 102 tips. 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.

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.

I don't do Inktober because I always draw with ink and I usually work on longer-term projects, so I thought I'd do "Leadcember" where I only use graphite (it still looks like pen, really)
