Hello, and happy weekend!
Hi Guys,
Believe it or not, as much (or little) as I have inked over the years, there are two things I’ve never tried.
I have never used black ink to create a diluted, watercolor effect. Let’s call it a water non-color.
I’ve also never created a pure black background. Well “black” is relative, and according to David it’s still not completely black, but – trust me – I used the blackest of black inks. Carbon ink. LOL. But I know what he means, I’ve seen some inktober artwork that looks even blacker than the backgrounds here – I guess it is in the photo editing. And I could make the photos in the post seem blacker than black, but I like showing the subtle shades and brush strokes, so I’m going to leave them like this.
The steampunk grim reaper has a combination of both of these effect, while the star mask scaredy cat is a bit more subtle. I really like the way both of them turn out.
p.s. and remember you may click on any of the photos to see them larger! It might be worth it.
Cheers
