Dragon in progress -


I inked this one with a paintbrush, which allows for more free-flowing lines than a pen does. I almost always use wet India ink, as opposed to a marker, preferably Speedball. This technique requires a lot of focus and breath-holding so I can get the smooth lines and little details. Yet there's something relaxing about it.

Before I ink, I draw all of the lines, details and hatching in light pencil so there's no room for error. I usually put on a movie or TV show that I've seen a billion times before so I have the noise but I don't have to pay attention to it. Big Fish and Finding Nemo are my favorites.
