My Second Brush Work


Here is my second brush work...I found this Hellboy and wanted to give it a try with my brush, I thought it would be good practice, I am still using the Loew-Cornell Size 2 (White Nylon) for practice.

Side Note
Hellboy was inked entirely with the Loew-Cornell Size 2 brush.

Enjoy and until next time get your draw on!!!

My First Brush Work


Here is my first brush work...I was given this Superman Trading card to practice my inks with a brush.

To start with I decided to practice with a Loew - Cornell (White Nylon) size 2 so that I can get a feel for what a brush is supposed to do and how it moves on the paper before I start using my Winsor Newton or Kolinsky Sable.

I also decided to use a Hunt #107 and a Rapidograph pen.

When I first approached this piece, I was scared to use the brush...I was told to use my pens because that is what I was comfortable with so I decided to build my lines on the big bug looking guy and use the brush to try and stay within the lines that I built to see if I could control the brush.

Next thing I did was ink Superman, I decided to just go with a brush...the ONLY thing on Superman that I DID NOT use the brush for is the buttons, I used a Rapidograph pen for those...again Superman is inked with a brush minus the buttons.

Lastly, I decided to use the Hunt #107 to do the really tight inks (small bugmen).

So, this is my first attempt at using a brush (nylon)...I will post more as I get them done.

UPDATE
I know that alot of the weights weren't the best chosen weights...I was going more for control than anything else and smoothness of the lines and I think I did pretty good at achieving my goal.
