TIPS FOR LARGE DRAWINGS, pen & ink

[@margied7992]

Hi! Loving your art! I have binge watched so many videos today! I have many fine liners but they are waterproof. So how do I get them to smudge with my finger or with a brush? Especially after the fact. Thanks so much!

You can use both, if it’s still slightly wet I usually just lick my brush a little, or dip in a tiny bit of water, I know it says there waterproof but they will smudge a little, also for a large area eg a wall, I have an old used ink stamp pad, I press some scrap paper on the ink pad and then onto my drawing, you may want to press a little off on to scrap paper first, but do try as it’s a really good method for large areas and a good mark for mark making. I might use this method for my sky in my large drawing yet, but do practice first as I would hate for you to ruin a good drawing . I hope this helps hun x

@@susanpriestart that’s brilliant! I will try both methods on scrap paper first. Thank you for taking the time to answer me! Again your work is amazing!
