Inking Work; Fall 2009

This class was all about learning about various traditional inking techniques. This was my first class with John Malloy and where I first fell in love with crow quill inking. :P More info accompanying each piece.

First piece, we were to use any inking materials we wanted to copy a photo of our choosing of an animal from a FLICKR photostream. I do not claim ownership of this drawing or any sort of creative... idk, property. I did this deer, he was qt. I used Tombo brush pens, Microns, and Copic fine liners to do this.

Next piece, we were to use ballpoint pen to copy a portrait / photo portrait of our choosing. I chose my BFF princess, Katherine, from a photo I took of her in California.

Then we had to do an architectural drawing, this time once again in inking materials of our choice. I decided to go for digital inking in Open Canvas 1.1; referenced a photo I took in California of a random house on a hill. This one was pretty easy peasy because I gridded it.

 

We had to do an ink wash illustration of an unconventional vampire next, w/ sumi ink. I did a comic about vampires that use Viagra I guess, idk.

One of the semi-final pieces (or final? idr) was a poster for Hamlet themed around a randomly assigned word. Mine was 'fashion', if I recall correctly, and I decided to make my poster pretty fashionable. Did it with crow quill.

well dat's all for now, so ~toodlez~!
