This week in your sketchbook, we will practice rendering texture and line in ink.
WARM UPS
Just as you would warm up before exercise, warm up before using ink. Take the time to work on your lines and strokes on a separate sheet of paper before you begin working on your actual illustration. This will ensure that you have proper command of your hands.
Try all the tools you have! Play with hand pressure, stroke shape and angle. Try to repeat the same stroke over and over, until it becomes a part of your muscle memory. Use this as a way to become familiar with your pens.
Try out methods of creating value too. Value swatches are a great way to learn how to do this.
Fill 4 pages in your sketchbook over the course of the week.
