My aim by combining ink and my fine line work was to put a spin on what I usually do. My love for doing lifework is something else; which I have done for a lot of the time I have been drawing. However, I feel like it's getting to a point where I'm finalising how I do my line work and needed to potentially mix it up a bit. Therefore, my theory was to add ink to my designs. But before I get into that, this is the above images of the lifework before the ink. It's so neat and I find it so satisfying. I kept swapping between 0.5mm and 0.05mm to do these to give it the perfect ratio of thickness.
Here's a close up of my little illustrations with the bright, vibrant blue ink behind them. The technique is literally paint brush, a little water and a lot of painting! It's almost impossible (or I found it) to paint the background evenly because the ink dry's differently each time. It really does spice things up a bit and definitely puts a spin on my original designs! I think I'll use this design basis in the future.

| To summeries, this is the work pages in my sketchbook. Although most of my sketchbook work is not on my blog because i'd be here forever; but these are it. They're super lovely and I really enjoyed completing them. However, I think they'd be better compositionally if it was planned out and on a large scale. The left hand page is biro and ink - just because I had the ultimate urge to get creative and do a few different kind of designs/materials when it comes to ink/biro/fine. |
