Inklings --- a place for ink drawings

**chaosrocks** · May 16th, 2007, 10:02 AM

There are a number of us who have discovered a mutual love of old fashion Pen and ink. I thought there should be a place for this. I would love to see what otheres are doing withthis medium. I only ask that the drawing are done in ink, without digital touch up.
I use my grandmothers pen and a japanese brush

Heres a few historicals to start

**HunterKiller_** · May 17th, 2007, 02:13 AM

I've also discovered a burning love for ink.

I'll post some of my recent ink life drawings once I get them loaded up.

Chaos: I enjoy that last landscape painting.

Squidmonkey: Those mountainscapes are rad, and the panel of the person with umbrella is cool.

The Bodies are a little f***ed up. I dunno what the hell I did with this chicks feet. And the best part is that there is a water stain on the guys head...

Ergh.

He was apart of a series, needless to say, I f***ed his face up. :/ Eh, whatever...

**Grief** · June 9th, 2007, 01:28 AM

oh geez... i work about 95% in ink, this thread is like asking a fat guy if he wants to finish off your sandwich, you're gonna get mobbed.

just about every image on my thread is an ink drawing.

here's a process of an image.

**Wierdokid182** · June 9th, 2007, 02:31 AM

Nice work Grief :o)

**Dr.Satan** · June 11th, 2007, 02:38 PM

yes, nothing but black

For the beginning, here some ink studies i've done for a view years.

148 x 210mm, try it in Moebius style, a great inker. pencil sketch befor inking.

210 x 300mm, free sketch in pencil then inked it over

for this one in 500 x 700mm, using only ink.

The fotos, that i used as reference, are all from this book.

The next Pictures are some Illustrations, that i've done for my Diplom. 22 years ago.

This are scans from copies, so excuse the bad quality.

The next one is a new work from 2007.

And this Woodpecker is a studie for the book illustrations.

Really nice stuff! Though I couldn't help notice that in the second drawing of the nude you fail to keep the proportions of girl's back...it looks somehow cut from the ...just my opinion. Other than that...keep up the good work.

**Sawa** · June 16th, 2007, 08:57 AM

nice thread

thought i might post some stuff too, though i dont do that much inking ...
nevertheless had loads of fun doing those

**Bowlin** · June 20th, 2007, 09:41 AM

Here's my old bear ink drawing.

**Sawa** · June 26th, 2007, 11:02 AM

**Fingers** · June 26th, 2007, 11:47 AM

Ink is fun... Great work, everyone. Especially Grief

This one's from last year. There's older stuff in this style in the "Black Book" link in my sig (geez, all those links are old as the hills). I've done some more but need to scan...

**Rummity** · July 4th, 2007, 04:03 PM

some great work on this thread.

This one is about 2 years old

**Arne S.** · July 6th, 2007, 05:43 AM

@squidmonk3j: looking very good!! more!

**Arne S.** · July 6th, 2007, 05:55 AM

playboy mag in 2003(?)
and two personal sketches from 06

**Fingers** · July 7th, 2007, 07:23 PM

This one I just finished, it's a portrait of my sister (from photo ref).

**Ramon Hurtado** · July 7th, 2007, 09:48 PM

whoa! there is so much good work in here! it's always refreshing to see the equally impressive, yet diverse work that people can produce using similar materials. here are a few i finished today as part of a commission...cats are based on life sketches...

**DSL** · July 10th, 2007, 03:11 AM

I have always thought that pure drawing is the ducks nuts, its where an artist's soul lies- painting can be super cool but its also open to being worked on for so long to get "perfection" that it can lose its mojo!
Ink drawing is the closest to zen in western art, especially if there is no or little underdrawing. Be bold, have the courage to go for it, dont try to hit me- just hit me!!

**drd** · July 10th, 2007, 03:31 AM

Just one finished ink, I don't usually do them.

Old western style portrait shot.

No pencil underneath =P

Maan there are some really good ink works in this thread!
sease: i really like that portrait and the One with the ink wash, they're mad!

I'm new here, well i've been browsing the forum for the last few days but this will be my first post! -
i must say i've never seen an online collection of such talented artists, this is where the real art is.

anyhow i'm into pen and ink, i spend alot of time on a train and it gives me something to do hahah - here are some of my inky doodles!
The first one's done in a sepia ink pen with some red ink, i emphasized the colour in the eyes on photoshop. D:
