Thanks, and yeah I had to do the pencil drawing and erase lightly before inking. Sometimes the graphite gets in the way.
I love the gremlins movies!
Good references, thanks!
I am using something called Super Pineapple. I couldn't find info online, it smells a bit like pineapple, but really more like mango to me, very tropical, its incredible. The high is fucking awesome, feeling focused and energetic.
Have been listening to some old industrial a lot lately: Front Line Assembly, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Godflesh, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, etc.
Damn, sorry to hear that ttystikk, that is fucked up, hope it gets sorted out.
Last night I was showing some people how I draw skulls, so I got to try the red colored pencil. I got a little carried away and smudged some ink, still learning.
And tonight I wanted to experiment with blending colors before I mess up on something better, so I made a quick little mars attacks inspired skull.
DAT, these are the pens and colored pencils I am using. The pen IS amazing! Its all about being able to control the line weight with pressure and the angle at which you hold these. You should try it. I'm not sure this ink is the best, but I am still researching it. If you get them, be careful of moisture. Even the slightest drop will make the ink start to bleed and discolor the paper.
The Pentel Hybrid Technica gel pens are supposed to be better than these, but I have yet to try those, already ordered some. You might be able to find those at art supply stores locally, they have a .3mm size
These colored pencils are great as well, first time using the verithin, have not used colored pencils in a VERY long time.
