My inking process:
This was my first time inking. I bought the black Dr Martins Bombay ink and Bristol board at the beginning of the semester. So even though I was nervous about using a paintbrush and ink, I wanted to make use of what I purchased. This last part of the assignment took a lot of steps, including using my window and natural light to retrace my sketch twice, once to size it to fit into the tea packaging and a second time to get the pencil sketch on the Bristol board. I used both black ink a 0/5 paintbrush and for the lettering on my piece I used a 005 black micron pen (which I regret not using on the cover of the book-as you can see I messed up what was supposed to be ZzZzz sleepy zzz and I ended up covering it with black). Overall, I am very pleased with how this turned out for my first time go around. I also really love the process, thats where the real reward lies and I am starting to really realize that through these assignments. Thank you! <3
