Ink Techniques / demo
demo
Illustrator Francis Vallejo takes the viewer on a journey into inks and their exciting possibilities in this 102 minute video. You will be able to watch Francis use one reference photo and interpret it 3 times, each time using a different inking technique: nib, brush, and wash. He discusses the positives & negatives of each tool and ultimately the benefit of using all three for a successful inked image.
Along the way Francis shares his thoughts on how to properly use reference images, being confident in your drawings, and a bit of commentary on his favorite inkers and how to use your influences to better your work and make it as unique as possible. Finally, Vallejo takes the last drawing and brings it into Photoshop to demonstrate a quick and efficient way to bring your inks into color. Enjoy!
