A Pleased Tiger
A Pleased Tiger
This one is a gift for someone special...
I have been doing a LOT of stipple lately. Something about it just puts me at ease instantly...

Flower Girl
I got my hands on some really beautiful speckled paper, so I've been creating some small ink drawings on it.
This one is available in my shop.

Sky Dragon
Finally finished! This one was created with purple & black ink. It looks best if you view it larger.

Pepper
I ordered Chinese food today and didn't even get a fortune cookie. I think they tried to make up for it by giving us more duck sauce than anyone could reasonably use. I'm much more disappointed about this than I should be.
Anyway, here's my newest illustration project -
Traditional Ink

Dandelion Garden
A pen + ink drawing for class of me, my fiance, and our two Cornish Rex kittens, Berlioz and Bonnard. It might look old-fashioned, but Nate really does own that hat, and I really do love super girly dresses, even though I don't wear them much!
I'll be coloring this digitally later.
Me and Nate.
Berlioz on the left, Bonnard on the right. They are much more handsome than I made them.

Stipple Dragon
Here are some step-by-step pictures of an old stipple. I just did this one on an index card with a felt-tip pen. This is by no means the "right" way to work - this is just how I work.
First, I dot very lightly, to decide where I want things to go.
Next, I work on creating some definitive lines. Some people will tell you that lines are a no-no, but I'm very attracted to bold lines.
After creating some outlines, I start to shade. I tend to work on a section at a time, so my lines don't get "lost" in the work. Shade lightly at first - you can always go darker later, but you can't go lighter.
A clean scan of the final image.
