  • wheres the link?

  • @LindoKorchi what link?

  • can i use menso brushes instead of a brush pen? and also, how did you shade with black ink?

  • @shinigami2loser You can use whatever you wish, each artist has different preferred tools, and shading with black ink is called "hatching", "cross-hatching" or "stippling". Hatching is making lines, the more you make the darker it gets, cross-hatching the same but instead of doing more in the same direction, the lines cross with each other, and stippling is through making dots, the more the darker. I'm not patient enough to use that one, so I go for hatching and cross-hatching D:

  • Is there any hope for those of us who have no art skill and don't want to go to art school?

  • @Rayray4850 I'm in your club! I have no talent at all, if I have acquired skills, the only reason is that I draw everyday and I had a certain season in which I made 50 daily different characters in different poses, so put aside talent and use all your effort, people probably won't be able to tell the difference between one and another anymore ;D Of course, that's not my case yet... but I'm hoping to become the real deal by the time I'm 23 (19 right now) :)

  • So what gives more consistent lines? The felt tips, quills, or brushes?

  • what's the second song called?

    (not the first)

  • Shit I have the same pen but the problem is that I have the ink

  • I use a Pilot pen. The pen I use now is Pilot Precise. I use it lightly so it doesn't bleed. I normally doesn't bleed as long as you don't use it incorrectly.

  • @xXAngelOfDarkness6Xx Try watching the entire video

  • I cannot find a G-Pen ANYWHERE. Well the one you dip anyway. Is it any different than just a regular g-pen with the ink inside?
