TUTORIAL // creating flowy & dynamic lines with ink (Patreon)

Note: sorry to repost this! There were some technical issues with the video so I had to repost. This one should work, if not, please do reach out!

Here it is: this month’s tutorial! It’s on inking, and more specifically on which techniques I use to get flowy and dynamic lines with ink. This was a huge challenge for me when I first started inking, and I figured out a few ways to overcome shaky and hesitant lines over time. I think it’s a lot about overcoming the anxiety of drawing in ink, since it feels so permanent! I talk about that a lot in this tutorial.

I filmed from two angles, one from the top so you can get a good overview of the drawing proess, and one from the side so you can get a better sense of how I hold my hand and how the tip of the pen touches the paper. I hope both of these angles combined give a good sense of how I approached the sketching and inking!

I mention my tools in the tutorial, and I also have an amazon affiliate shop with a list of the various tools I’ve used in the past which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/loish?listId=1TXJSUL3UMPMP

I also made a sketchbook tour for my first inktober sketchbook where I talk more about each drawing and the process behind them, which you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sketchbook-tour-34294418

It was really fun to do a traditional art tutorial and I’m excited to do more in the future! As always, feel free to post your feedback or any questions you might have! And happy inking :)
