Subtle Fun

Dip pens, brushes and ink arrived today! I decided to give them a shot with a simpler drawing, so I printed out some clip art and tried to replicate it. Overall I’m happy with the first attempt.

I had a bit of difficulty with spattering ink on certain strokes. That led to a couple of crumpled up attempts, but by the third drawing that problem was noticeably less.

I wanted to return to drawing faces, because my vampire from two days ago was such a mess. I can see a few things I like better about this drawing. Still a long way to go. One week down!

Whew. Another struggle. I have no idea what I’m doing with shading…

Yikes. This was a struggle. Probably my weakest effort so far. Faces are hard…

I was poking about the Internets last night for some ideas for today’s prompt, Black Cat, and I came across what I thought was a cool style. I decided that I wanted to see if I could create something similar, so I printed it out, put it beside my drawing, and gave it a go. This was a fun drawing to try to replicate.
