Inkwash Sketchbook Wolf

A small sketchbook of a wolf standing in what seems to be snow. The picture was sketched in pencil and then shaded completely with inkwash. The head of the wolf was done by making a sort of stippling texture and then layering it over with shades of gray as a gradient. Otherwise, the main techniques were making different hatching lines to create the image of the fur. Wish I could have made the fur a little nicer, but I was happy with the result of this sketchbook.

Ink Sketchbook #4

Ink sketchbook done of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and some sort of alien creature. The drawing was done in pencil and then inked using pen. The inking techniques used in this were hatching, and stippling. The solid blacks in the picture were done using inkwash. I liked the overall product of the sketchbook, although there could have been more detail on the alien creature.

Ink Sketchbook #3

Ink sketchbook of a rabbit samurai. I liked this sketchbook because of the actual drawing and also because of the contrast between the shadow and his skin, utilizing a small layer of white to outline the figure. Happy with the result and learned a little more on how to manipulate solid black.

Ink Sketchbook #2

Ink sketchbook done of some sort of creature chained to a rock in the water. Drawn in pencil and then inked in pen and finally filled in the solid black parts using inkwash. Liked the contrast of the white with the black in different places, such as the body with the solid black background, and the chains with the rock.



Ink Sketchbook #1

Ink sketchbook done of a skeleton's head drawn out in pencil and then inked in pen. Main techniques used were hatching and a little stippling. Overall satisfied with the end result and learned how to manipulate the black and white for example in the lower jaw.
