‘Turn Down’ Throwing down some ink.

Tuesday, November 28th, 2017


Hey folks, for this months post I thought I’d take you on a journey with me through the inking of a piece called ‘Turn Down’. So I made you a special video.

What follows is nearly 10 minutes of my action packed, ink-slinging, throw-down: aka, ‘Ink-ageddon’. (OK in actuality it is some pretty precise work with an old friend, the Pigma Micron 005.)

But then I bust out the FW ink and attack the drawing! (Well, it is more like light controlled washes. You’ll see.)

Hope you enjoy the show. (And… I hope you are not allergic to peanuts.)
