sketching using markers

I am finally getting some decent results out of my markers after many frustrating attempts. Here two more sketches from rashomon using Pitt artist pen. Both sketches are pretty small...about 4"x4".

FACA 3 - Too bad so sad

This is "Kate Amari". My fighter from FACA 3 West Region bracket of the Fist-a-cuffs "FACA 3" tourney. She was obliterated by the West region winner in the first round. It was my first entrant to FACA and it was a lot of fun. Go over to the site and check it out. There are a bunch of incredible drawings there. Here is another fighter I drew but didn't submit: "Hagar the Hornible".

page

Thought I would try to do a page; pencils and inks all in one night. This is the result:
The final product ended up taking me two nights. It is roughly 14" x 8.5".

Brush practice...


got some new paper today so I did a little page to muck around. Also got a new fatter brush so I can lay more ink down. fun stuff. I did only light pencils to get proportions and placement then did most of the rendering etc with the brush. I have barely used brushes for drawing so its very new to me. I tend to rush and move my hand very fast - like I would do with a pencil - however the bristles move in ways that I can't seem to predict. More practice, more practice, more practice...

Oneday I will be able to put down a nice line! (or maybe not)

tried drawing with the brush instead of tracing over pencils. It's late so I did it quick but it was fun to do.
