Inking is the joy of all art joys. I'll take inking over chocolate cake anytime... well, maybe not every time. Remember that your artwork is only as good as your tools are, so make sure you have the right tools (inking pens). Don't forget to get your Michael's coupon so you never have to pay full price for anything again!
I did only a tiny demo in class on inking, but you all have taken to learning the techniques quickly. Your pieces look fantastic thus far and I can't wait to see all of them completed and up on my wall.
For today's blog I want to give you more insight into the professional world of inking. I found a great cartoonist by the name of Tom Richmond and he has a great website on inking. I especially like this particular section where he talks about line variation, adding blacks, crosshatching, patterns, and depth. You can scan his website and tutorials but please read THIS page as you study his images and answer the following questions:
- How does he use line variation in his images?
- Solid black is often a forgotten tool by amateur artists. How does adding solid blacks enhance the artwork?
- Find an inked image online that you feel shows all the characteristics of a great inked piece.
- Post it.
- Name the artist.
- Explain how the artist used master inking techniques.
How does he use line variation in his images?
ReplyDeleteHe uses line variation on his images by using crosshatching to make some areas darker than others. If he did not do this then it would be a very plain picture.Solid black is often a forgotten tool by amateur artists.
How does adding solid blacks enhance the artwork?
Adding solid black enhances artwork because it draws a lot of attention to those specific areas.

This artist uses good inking skills by having a variation in lines by using thin and thick lines. They also use inking so that they can create shade in the artwork and it is very detailed.
es muy importante lo que he leído porque esto habla acerca de ink por ejemplo habla de Line Variation: stylistic approaches ,line thickness, visual interest and dynamics que le da al dibujo vida, energia y movimiento,masa y peso que have que la imagen se vea en segunda dimension , a la imagen hay que ponerle peso para hacerla mas sustancial.
ReplyDeleteSpotting Blacks: esto significa que hay que poner negro solido al dibujo creando Fuentes contrastes, en terminos de blanco y negro en Arte como ver colores , namas hay que verlos en blanco y negro , el value de los dark colors like red blue violet and green y explica todo como hacerlo professionalmente y mirar el valance in the dark areas.
Adding Values Crosshatching : en terminos inking is about black and white que son los colors que dan la opportunity al value , Crosshatching se tiene que ver bonito , pero segun Tom Richmond que Es algo aburrido pero worthy.
Adding Values via pattern /textures: Es como otra forma de Crosshatching Es decir añadir mas shadow to the image and tambien work on backgrounds y darle valance a la imagen.
estuvo muy interesante ❤️
