On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
*A play with the delightful Gesinski Ink in Procreate. I also used the smudge tool, set to Gesinski Ink, and swished it over some areas. This adds a further painterly effect. I plan to do a print of it. I think a textured watercolour paper would suit this image. Firstly, as is my usual practice,... Continue Reading →
*A quick sketch with my black Pentel brush pen, and some colour washes using Inktense ink blocks. This is drawn in an A4 Sketch book journal, with a lovely woven eco friendly paper. After scanning it into the iPad with the Scanner Pro app, I then added little further work in Procreate. I also cleaned up... Continue Reading →
