Giving a go to Ink

avatar

Hey everyone, hopefully the few bugs around will be fixed in the following week. It is a miracle in itself we got PeakD at all, and it is day one, after all. So let's be patient and grateful for what we have, the team peak never has let us down.

Moving on.

I'm better known for uploading my digital art, but like everyone else, I started the traditional way. You've seen an ink drawing I previously made, but that was just me messing around to test my old pens vs. the new ones I got from my art hauld in Amazon. Among the things purchased, I got a led tracing pad, but sans the standar testing I didn't really worked up courage to work on it... UNTIL TODAY.

Ta-Da ~

I had to redraw this around three times (by folding a recycled paper and using as many sides as I could, to correct mistakes made post-breaks) before finally tracing the sketch on the mixed-media paper (that I also got from Amazon back then in november/december).

I'm currently doing the inking, the part that scared me the most- but i've found that it is easier than expected? Perhaps because, unlike that of my rushed fanart of Kougyoku, I've spent a considerable amount of time thinking on this drawing, hence in more confident on my traces.

Of course, I've yet to see how this will turn out, but I'll celebrate my baby steps in the meantime.

I'm not sure I fully understood what you were doing while tracing but it looks all right? I'm mostly surprised that you remembered to take a picture ;D

Basically, I took a piece of recycled papper and drew on it first. Corrected the sketch about 3 times (using old markers) to fix mistakes, then put it under a mixed-media paper and turned the trace pad on. Traced with a 2B pencil and used a micron pen for the ink.

I recalled to take a photo mostly because my neck was sore, thus a break was needed. My phone was nearby so I happened to remember
