Maybe you’ll think I’m stoned but a friend of mine introduced me to drawing with sticks and ink and I love it, love it, love it. The line quality is so sensitive and to some extent uncontrolled. It really does have a natural look and just might replace my rigger brush. Painting an image and then drawing on it with stick and ink is something you should try. if you want to put color on over a drawing make sure the ink is waterproof. Also if you want midtones, do your ink drawing and pull some values out with a damp brush. This isn’t Sumi painting. The stick makes all the difference. Stick to it (groan) and you’ll be amazed!
