4 drawing exercises for easier Master Studies with pen and ink technique
Рет қаралды 15,174
Күн бұрынIn this video, I demonstrate how these four exercises can help make Master Studies easier to do for pen and ink drawing. And I put those concepts into practice by reworking an older project. Some of the Master Artists featured include Franklin Booth, Bernie Wrightson, Kentaro Miura, and my other favorites.

One tip that has helped me with tracing is to print the original image in a lower opacity setting, essentially imitating using tracing paper on a lightbox, but with only a single sheet of printed image. Then I can trace overtop of the original and focus more on the execution of the linework. My linework has greatly improved as a result. Just throwing that out there in case people don't have a lightbox or don't want to bother with multiple sheets/taping the tracing paper down, etc

Hello again Chloe, I just want to say again how beautiful your work is and I can tell how absorbed you are in the work. It’s wonderful to have any activity in one’s life that takes one into another realm and makes the passage of time almost meaningless. Another thing that strikes me about this black and white rendering is how similar it looks to scraperboard . I wonder if you have ever tried it …..if so,I’m sure you are equally adept at making white lines,as opposed to black ! Lastly, could I ask what type of ink do you use? Regards from England x
@longstrideillustration 4 ай бұрын
Thank you for the kind words. I have indeed tried scrapeboard. A lot of the master I like to study have an engraving-style. I use a Speedball super black india ink, it's a pigment-carbon mix which is great for drawing with dip pens. You can find the tools I use on my website: longstrideillustration.com/tools/

Thanks so much -- I'm finding your videos very helpful and inspiring. Do you know if the speedball India ink you use works well with watercolor paints and alcohol markers after it's dry? It gets mixed approvals on amazon for these mediums. Thank you.
@longstrideillustration Жыл бұрын
I've used it for ink washes and combined using alcohol markers... it works, in small doses. I'd venture to say that for mixed media the acrylic-based inks would perform best. Also, the paper makes a difference. On hot press paper, the pigment-based ink performed okay, but wasn't awesome on bristol smooth.

@longstrideillustration Жыл бұрын
True, I featured only a few of my very favourite pen & ink heroes in this video. In the description I share a Pinterest Board where I have began adding more of my personal favourites, Doré is certainly amongst them. Philip Harris is an Illustrator & Print Maker based in the UK - his work had an influence on my choice of subjects for inking. The key takeaway from the video is that for studies, I found it more inspirational to first study the master that I admire most, then later move on to the "Classics" for further learnings.

I'm wondering what paper do you recommend for big A3 size illustration with ink ? I know about the manga papers like deleter, used for their smooth surface but it's quite small and has the brand name printed on it wich I dislike, do you know a larger size paper that could fit for ink illustration ? much love, your teachings are great.

I personally like Strathmore bristol smooth or a Bainbridge bristol art board for large formats. You'll find my paper recommendations on my website tools page. I also go into material combos that work best for your natural approach, in my dip pen course: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7Cglrh_ypi0d5s.html

Do you think pen and ink is harder to master than painting ? cause it certainly looks like it is.
@longstrideillustration Ай бұрын
It's hard to say since I'm not a painter, however I think that spending time mastering the fundamentals, especially shading and lighting is useful for any medium. I used to teach alpine skiing to adults at Whistler Mountain (Canada) and instructors would often get asked which is harder and we'd answer: "skiing is easy to learn but hard to master, snowboarding is hard to learn but easy to master" and maybe art mediums are like that as well.
