2009-2010 winter tests - Nib, ink and gouache
02/25/2010

Graphically, comic art is the one that influences me the most, the European one as, since several years now, the Japanese manga. Used to precision ink pens and brushes, I've wanted to try the nib.

For this exercise, I chose, as model, my friend Daizo. Take a look at his website (www.blu-x-graphics.com).

1°) The black-and-white drawing :
The line, as usual, with a drawing pencil
The inking start : wide point for the outline, thin point for the details
The inking in progress
The inking finished

2°) The colouring with gouache :
The line with a drawing pencil
