Been a spell, huh? Happy to say I’m all but completely recovered from last month’s surgery, at least enough to hunch over the drawing board hours at a time. Been trying out a few new pen nibs and brushes lately; broadening what you’re capable of is never a bad thing, but mostly I just get tired of inking everything with the finest-lined, stiffest pen nib in existence, the Hunt 107.
So. A few of these I inked with the Hunt 56, which gives a more comfortable, bolder line, and the rest were a Loew-Cornell Size 6 Liner. I definitely need a lot more practise with both, but it’s fun to try new things.
Case in point: None of this art is mine. Left to my own devices, I doubt I’d lay down enough lines in one drawing for the exercise to be worthwhile, so why not learn a thing or two from people who know a whole hell of a lot more than me?
