Inktober 2017 : Day 16 - Gel Pens

Inktober 2017 : Day 16 - gel pens

Wipe that glamour off your face Trispin, Ely isn’t impressed. I have a super-fine gel pen (0.25) that I rarely use, so I tried it for the cross-hatching on this. I like it but it’s just so scratchy! I had to pull paper fluff out of the nib several times.

Inktober 2017 : Day 5 - gel pen I think it hurts Jessie to channel lightning through her body like that, but it’s really the only combat magic she knows. One of these days I’ll have to work out what she wears when she’s not in uniform. She appeared when I was a teenager and still dressed all my characters in black, but now that I’m older I realise it doesn’t really suit her. Hmm.

Inktober 2017 : Day 20 - gel pen Someone walking past probably wouldn’t see the shadow, but it’s there. Oof. This one was definitely in the ‘why have I done this to myself’ category. I was up several hours past my usual bedtime finishing the many layers of crosshatching! It was also stressful because this sort of hatching looks like arse until it’s nearly done, so I’m never quite sure if it’s going to work.

Inktober 2017 : Day 8 - ink wash Later in life Louise will know better than to follow the forest lights, but when she first came to live with her foster parents she didn’t know what they were.

Inktober 2017 : Day 13 - ink and water

If only it really were just sleep paralysis.

Here are some process photos for the portrait of Pocket Witch Gravity I posted a while ago. Whenever I post process photos it makes me realise how conventional my process is! I think literally the only thing that’s different to any of my friends is that I finish the line inking after the spot black, rather than before. Look out for some close-up photos of the comic as well!
