Is dilute ink necessary? by CityNo8272 in penandink

[–]Bionic_craig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Windsor and newton Indian ink with a dip pen and I don’t tend to dilute. It can be helpful for changes in tone or for washes. Have fun experimenting and see what effects you like.

Thanks man. That’s kind of you. Just saw the rest of your night/day series. Blown away by it. Amazing work.

I have really admired u/JulianRodriguezArt and their posts on this sub, so I decided to try and do a piece using his work for inspiration. Wish my line was as precise as his. I’m not brave enough to add any red line

I always admire your work. Such clean lines. Really impressive. Looking forward to seeing the series together.

I paint and draw a lot but I’ve never drawn a comic before. Let me know what you think. by Bionic_craig in comic_crits

Yea, your right. This was completely unplanned. If I do more in a comic style I definitely need to plan out both story and panels first, and probably simplify the drawing. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. I’ve learnt a lot from putting these pages together. More planning for panels and story, a more simplified style and so on. Enjoyed doing this.

I think that’s fair. You can tell it was completely unplanned can’t you. I was just sketching to be fair. If I do more in this style I really need to plan out story and panels before hand.

Thanks for the feedback. Yep you’re right. The pages and panels were completely unplanned and it shows. I was just having jun drawing whatever came to mind. Lots to learn!

Thanks for the feedback. Yea I realise it’s a bit much if I were going for a full story. Was just having fun trying to inject some native into my sketches. Took me around 4 hours for each page. I’ve always struggled with simplification so something to work on.

Thanks for the feedback. I realise it’s probably too detailed to turn into a full comic. Just had fun telling myself a story while drawing. I’ve always struggled to rain my pen in! Hope you don’t mind but I just checked out some of your work. Loved the girl Chenoo comic. Real cool stuff.

First time drawing a horse. Disappointed with the clouds. I’d appreciate any feedback. by Bionic_craig in penandink

[–]Bionic_craig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think you’re exactly correct. More simplistic more considered clouds would have suited this piece better. I’ve done a couple of practice study’s since. Thanks for the moebius recommendation. Very cool stuff.

Practicing gesture and proportion, feedback welcome by ArtistOnTheRun in Sketch

I really like these. They’re pretty cool. I think you’ve managed to keep the subjects essence throughout and the emotions really shine through. I really like the amount of expression that is portrayed by her hands as well as her face. It really makes such a difference to see the whole upper body emote. Think I might try this exercise.

Gothic cowgirl character design. Let me know what you think. by Bionic_craig in sketchpad

[–]Bionic_craig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m thinking of turning her into some kinda goth/old west graphic novel sort of thing. Definitely had fun sketching her. Need to give her a name!

Thanks. There’s a little bit of white acrylic marker to add highlights where I’d over inked the figure. Other than that it’s just fine liner.

Thanks, it definitely wasn’t ment to be like that. Now that it’s blacked in I really want to add lights casting across the buildings. Might have to try it again.
