REAL TIME VIDEO - Ink Portrait Drawing π
Added 2022-10-27 17:34:45 +0000 UTCHi my Dear Potato Angels!
How are you? π Iβm happy to finally say I have been drawing quite a lot lately. I practice mostly drawing without an initial sketch. Today I wanted to share with you the process of ink drawing that naturally developed during my recent sketchbook sessions. I find it very pleasant and effective βπΌ
π STEP 1. First I draw a sketch with a 0.1 mm fine liner (link). The lines are so thin, they donβt interrupt the final drawing so I use them basically as when drawing with HB pencil.
π STEP 2. I add mid tones with a water pen (link) in which I have a water (obviously) and a 1 or 2 drops of ink. This way I can add planes of shading very quickly.
π STEP 3. Finally I add black values with a caligraphy pen (link). You can just use a thicker fine liner or a black marker with a brush tip. βοΈ After that I repeat some of these steps if theyβre needed.
You can see all these steps in the above video. Itβs a real-time but itβs only 16 minutes long - let me know what you think about such content π
Hugs π§‘

I really enjoyed seeing the portrait build in real time. Loved the idea of a little black ink in the water brush. More please :-)
2022-10-28 17:00:17 +0000 UTCI think it would work the same but itβs just easier to get a uniform liquid with the ink thatβs already a liquid π I like also watercolor ink from Ecoline. Itβs very good.
2022-10-27 20:31:40 +0000 UTCThis is super nice and educational! Do you have any experience with using watercolor instead of ink? I wonder if ink is for the monochromatic effect or because it has any specific properties?
