Splash image for Lost Lemuria comic
I finally bought a really fine brush and have been practicing inking in the professional style using a pot of India Ink (courtesy of Grointhief!). This is my first attempt. The greys are done with watercolours.
Hey Pete, yeah I have used it on the next page of the comic - it is taking a bit of getting used to and takes a lot longer than just using pen! I will probably scan the next page later today and you can see my results. I'm not really happy with it, just need more practice I think. It was the smallest brush I could find, really tiny like you would paint miniatures with you know?
looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing James! The brush style looks really cool.. do you think you'll keep using it?
