Girlfriends
Added 2018-05-06 00:17:41 +0000 UTCI'm... so in love with this gold/black/brown combo and the vibes of mermay in general aligning with my love for all things mythical that I think I might just drown in these mermaids for a while (don't worry, don't worry, I'm working on Pisces/Escape, too!).
Already thumbnailing a few more of these beauties. Also! this post is brought to you by my brand new Rotring Rapidograph pen that your support help me buy this month, and I can 100% guarantee you it is a PAIN in the ass to work with but not only does it give me beautiful even line qualities as seen here, it's also better for the environment. I am not a very big fan of disposable pens and will try to stick to the refillable kind that last lifetimes instead so I can stop chucking empty liner pens into the trash (see, my rather astounding collection of fountain pens for somebody who only uses them to draw with, not write), and this pen fits my bill even if it has a VERY large learning curve. I'm excited to use it on the next few. Also going to be finding alternatives to the gold ink because it's from a calligraphy marker (read above about chucking things into the trash), and I'd much rather be able to refill a marker of my own. oh well. Until the next one!
Happy Saturday, all. And for the curious, here's a closeup of the lines and a shot of the prelim sketch, which I shared on instagram a few days ago.
