Inktober: potions and bottles

[eller]

This is a really fast sketch I did on the train today. :) I actually found a good paper for ink sketching in the form of a mini sketchbook from a set I had received two years ago (?) for Christmas. (Yeah, I said I didn't want to use a sketchbook, but... I don't have any other special ink paper.) The format is 10x14 cm, roughly postcard size. And wow, that fude nib is expressive! XD This is the first time I tried drawing with it and I'm still not sure if I love it or hate it. It's definitely not my usual style... LOL

Sounds good - looking forward to it! *cheers you on*

This year, in addition to other inking techniques, I'm hoping to work on practicing with an ink pen, especially to draw textures that seem like they would be difficult to capture - like smoke, bubbles, water, and other transparent surfaces.

Actually, when you just mentioned ink pens, I got an idea... I might try to draw with fountain pen on grey paper and make soome highlights with white ink pen. Let's see how that turns out. ^^

The textures thing sounds fascinating, I'm really looking forward to see your results! :)
