I’ve been drawing in a western comic book style, mainly focusing on poster and cover art, for over 20+ years. I have never felt strong in my inking skills because I just couldn’t get a ‘professional’ look with my finished inked drawings. These videos have taught me so much in an amazingly short amount of time. Thank you so much for doing this series David, I have been a fan of your artwork for as long as I can remember. Much ❤️

@michaellinner7772 Жыл бұрын

In my humble opinion I think it can be better to forge your own style and not compare your work with anyone else's. Someday people will look at your art and say "That's instantly recognizable as a Light Echo and it's fantastic ".

One of the best tutorials on how to advance your cross hatching I’ve seen. It can be challenging to find advice that covers how to actually create different quality lines and what to bear in mind in relation to direction and type of line to use. Having a base of shading in place was really useful. I’m keen to develop a more representative (?figurative) style of drawing rather than totally realistic yet still keep form and shape. Thank you so much.
