I think is fair to say I have always had a fear of brushes and painting, I have ruined many of my best pencil sketches trying to go that next step. It is one of those amorphic substances ink/paint that I have little or no control of, and only recently am I making peace with it through the use of pens to do inking.
But today I decided to go and get some ink, real black "india" ink in a pot and some brushes 1,2,3,5,7 red sables to really have a go at it and...
It's fine. I really wanted to do speed lines and more "Kirby-like" imagery and a lot of it would take ages with a pen. So I drew some lines for about 30 minutes (exciting I know) until I was confident enough to draw a sun (see above). That my friends is the first of many things I plan to ink with brushes I think my pen/pencil have helped with the control a lot. It was touched up after scanning as I make a newbie mistake of trying to erase pencil lines before it was completely dry, but still I am happy with it all.
This little man is what it is pencil/ink and colored digitally, I like Machine Man so I thought I would draw him as a "kawaii" style character. More soon.
