Ironman - Inked


So it was a fun little exercise. I ended up chucking more black in there than I originally planned to but sometimes I do get carried away, but I enjoyed it. Pen and ink, coloured pencil, and acrylic... I tweak the image a bit after scanning to compensate for winsor & newton ink being so shit and transparent and as a result some of the softness of the other mediums is lost. No big deal.

If I felt like colouring it, which I don't, I'd probably do it a bit like this;

Actually, looking at the colour study kind of makes me want to colour it. But I'm sticking to my guns. No means no.

For anyone interested, here's a Gif that ought to quickly take you through the image at various stages of progress...
