Good video. I have two questions: can a pen and ink drawer not draw lines at all at something he wants the value to be light (let's say he imagines the suit at 2:59 of the dude to be lime green)? Second question: can such a drawer use a different color ink like different tones of grey for values? How would that look like, using the same principles of lining and hatching that is done with black ink (but this time with different colors of inks)?
@longstrideillustration7 ай бұрын
Hmm, I'll do my best to answer this. I'm not as familiar with using colour, however the same principles apply (lighting, shading, tone, values) - for example, the primary colours hold the same 'value' number and it is by mixing them that the tone/hue changes. And so by mastering greyscale is how colourists excel. I made a couple of videos on how to translate nature or a colour painting into blackwork: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imavZKpjhsZ5f8ksi=HCL7HhKXoqKa76LF

I am using fineliners and watercolours, but I am having a very hard time to create line weight variation with these fineliners. Do you know where or how can I find a course to improve my technique with fineliners? Thanks so much for your videos.
@longstrideillustration8 ай бұрын
Glad you're enjoying the videos. I do happen to have a course that launched about 1 month ago available on both Udemy and Skillshare. Although the focus is on using dip pens, I also demonstrate how to reach similar effects using fine liner pens. Majority of the students who have submitted projects so far have used alternative tools to dip pens and still found the lessons quite valuable, giving 5-star reviews.

I notice that you hold your dip pen at an angle to create a more constant, thicker line than just pressing down harder. Is that a technique you would recommend for thick lines with that type of tool?
@longstrideillustration7 ай бұрын
It's best to hold dip pens at a 25-30 degree angle for the tines of the nib to hold the ink and work properly (and avoid leaks). I talk more about holding positions in my videos and more in my course (links in description). Dip pens allow for a broad range of line width by varying the pressure. If you're interested in choosing the right dip pen for your style this article might be helpful: longstrideillustration.com/best-dip-pens-for-drawing/

Does anyone know if Booth ever inked with white ink over a black background? Sometimes it looks that way to me but I am not all that familiar with how to draw with pen and ink. All I know is that Booth's work is AWESOME!!!! And I'm dying to know how he did it. Is inking with white even a thing? Can white even cover black opaquely or is my question just revealing my artistic ignorance? Thanks!
@longstrideillustrationАй бұрын
I know that Joseph Clement Cole and James Montgomery Flagg sometimes would scratch the solid blacks to look like white ink, it would save time, they worked for the newspaper. And comic book artists like Ryan Benjamin often use white ink as part of their illustration process. But I don't think that Booth did.

For me no one matches the beauty of Booths line calligraphy …….I seem to remember that he also used the scratch board technique for getting those thin white lines out of solid blacks. Another artist who emulated his style is comic artist Alfredo Alcala. As much as I adore Bernie Wrightons work, Booth and Joseph Clement Coll, for me, are the tops when it comes to black and white ink work.
