Boy, things have been a bit of a swirl around here, no pun intended. I am finally getting caught up on some commissions that have been in the shop for too long on top of a lot of other "life" stuff like laundry, yard work etc. that's why the blog has been slow this last week.Last week Old Man Winter, or Old Lady Spring gave us a slap here in the north east with a bit of a storm. A storm more typical to December than mid May. The result was a bunch of huge branches down in the front yard that had me outside with a chainsaw ( which I had to buy). But I also got to see some of the student films from Uarts and that was fun as much as starting my taxes wasn't. I filed for a extension, so now I have to get this thing done...ugh.
This is sort of a recreation of the piece I inked over Kirby for the book Greg Theakston published back in the early 90's. I think I am a bit happier with this version as it's a bit more bold and way more brush that the first version I inked which was a lot of Hunt 108 pen. Now back to the many little tasks at hand....
I still can't believe you ink this stuff with a brush, yes, even after seeing it in person.
ReplyDeleteJosh, Yeah it's mostly brush. Here's the secret. Just spend endless hours alone in a room, you, a brush, bottle of ink and some paper. You'll either get better or go insane.
ReplyDeleteI won't say which happened to me ;-)
I'd say a little from column A, a little from column B. haha
ReplyDeletePure inking nectar. All kindsa Sinnott-esque lushness going on there.
ReplyDeleteSinnott is one of my gods of the brush.
