Another sketch

Today's work sketch

Isadora Moon Sketch

Was just doodling at work

Gran Character Inks

 It's always a bad idea to ink a terrible sketch, but I didn't it anyway and it turned out better than I thought :P

So I worked the same as in my Daredevil Study

1 - Just ink the thin lines with a nib. One thing I heard about the greats is that they keep drawing in inks. So instead of tracing, keep working pin your drawing. It's scary to make a mistake perhaps? But I think in the long run it will make you more confident.

2: Get out the brush and add some line weight and black fills.

3 : Set the timer (15 mins) and let it cook before erasing your pencils :D

Character Inks

 Not happy with the face, but good practice.

Character Sketch

So I really don't know my characters well enough to draw loosely in pencil and figure it out in inks :P

If it was digital I could've redrawn it, but in this case, we'll just file it in the concept folder :D

 

Ink Study 04 + process

Last panel I did, and my favourite one. Just a really well composed shot. (Daredevil - Gene Colan) 

By this point I also figured out a process for inking:

Step 1: Ink everything with your thin line (in this case I used a pen nib)

Step 2: Pull out your brush and start filling it out with black fills and adding line weight.

Step 3: Set a timer for 10-15 minutes and erase your pencil lines. I'm always so impatient but it is the most fulfilling step for me :D

Daredevil Studies

 These are some drawings from Daredevil by Gene Colan. Look him up, he's a great artist from the olden days, some really solid figure work and likes to use a lot of shadows.
