Zamphyr - Sketch WIP

I'm really bad at drawing men. I don't want to draw really effeminate looking men, but at the same time I'm bad at making people look masculine. I also like drawing flowers which aren't very manly at all.
So here's a bit of practice with something of a compromise of not having to be *too* manly.

Garnet - Sketch WIP

A new sketch... just in case I don't actually have enough unfinished sketches yet.
This one is on 9"x12" watercolour paper, so a bit smaller than usual, which means I'm more likely to finish it... hopefully, and also gives me a chance to practice with bottled ink some more

This is my first ACEO card art.

It was an interesting challenge going from my usual drawing size of 11.7"x16.5" down to 2.5"x3.5", but it gives me a chance to focus more on certain aspects of my work.

Slowly trying to colour this.

Got round to doing some inking at the weekend. Tried using a nib pen since I haven't done so in a while and it meant I could finally use the lovely shellac drawing inks I bought a couple of months ago. I think it will definitely speed up the inking process, although I need to find some thin tubes for mixing the ink consistency.

The sun has come out over England and the weather is lovely ^^. We could still do with some rain though, but I wont be complaining while I enjoy the sunshine.

Bit of a rough sketch, but I'm enjoying where it's going.
