ink blackjack fly Media: Pen and ink, brush pens Character: Blackjack Fairly quick pen and ink drawing, just because I hadn't drawn Black' here in a while. : Blackjack, cursed, black, dragon, dracosvulf, dragon, wolf, hybrid, dragonwolf, flying, winged, ink, wings, black and white, greyscale, daemonslayers, project Page Progression I'd been asked a few times now how I go about drawing the pages for 'Heritage'. So here's the skinny: Start off with a thumbnail sketched (not pictured because they look like crap), sketch out the page proper (again not pictured, same reason). Once that's done I ink the lines. For this I use Deleter no.1 black ink and Deleter dip-ink pens. G-pen for most of the lines, changing to a mapping nip for the thinnest lines. I use Letraset comic book paper... for a while I used Deleter paper but it doesn't hold the ink so well on the wash stage. Which brings me on to... The wash stage! Once the ink's dry (that's rather important) I rub out the pencils and come in with kolinsky sable brushes (Winsor&Newton Series 7) with Deleter ink. This time I use no.5 since that seems to work nicest with washes. Once inked and dried I then use Photoshop to add more shading and atmosphere. For this particular page I decided to add colour but usually I stop at the greyscale stage. journalblackjack Media: Pen and ink From one of my journals. I'm very good at starting them, not so good at completing. : blackjack, project, character, OC, daemonslayers, cursed black dragon, cursed, black, dragon, syrax, bloodbane, hybrid, dragonwolf, dracosvulf, dracolf, anthro, warrior, furry, winged, male, flying, sketch, pen and ink, ink, pen, line drawing, lineart
