If you ever wondered what I used to ink this stuff:

I wrote a post about it

A lengthy Patreon post about the nibs I use in my art, the marks they make, how they're stored, how they're cleaned, and what ink and paper I use. This is a public post. https://www.patreon.com/posts/122137147

#patreon posts #patreon #my stuff #The dragon looks so out of place here it's kinda funny but I still really like that dragon so it's going on here anyway #I don't do the shading that thick anymore because I usually digitally color my inked stuff these days #and the heavy crosshatching/shading makes it harder/more time consuming and it doesn't look as good with color over it #But also that dragon was done on like 18x24“ paper and the Sols were done on like... 9x12” paper #I can't draw that big anymore it's too hard on my back...#Inked pieces like the dragon on paper that big would take 60 to 80+ hours :(#Maybe one day I'll do a Sol piece in that old style on big paper and just ibuprofen through the pain haha #One last shindig for old time's sake
