So last night at life drawing we experimented a bit with ink, as you can see above. It was interesting trying to control the different shades of the ink. In the end I was mostly using watered down ink and layering coats in order to get the darker shades.
This one I was rather proud of. Apart from the head being rather small compared to the body, I feel the body came out well.
This image was ink straight onto the paper, without pencilling the outline first. I found this hard as whatever I marked down was perminant.
In this last image, we combined charcoal with white paint. There was a little ink thrown in there at the end as I was finishing up the thighs. The ink really helped to solidify the shadows around the legs. I feel that charcoal and white paint on its own doesn't quite mix well. The textures seem too different to work together without the ink to blend in the difference
