Thanks man. 'Old-me' would have just filled them in blcak, but i much prefer the 'unfinished' look. It's more fun too.

Awesome, very creepy. Are the grays done in ink wash or are they done in watercolour? Also is the white splatter acrylic?

Hey man, thanks.
All the greys are inkwash. I dilute my indian ink to a certain level and work with that. The white splatter is Winsor and Newton white ink. I used to use gouache paint bit it'd dry quickly and i use it a lot. I'd get annoyed having to mix it up all the time, plus it wasn't great to use with pen-nibs. I switched to ink and get more consistent results, can use nibs and it's much more convenient.

Thanks for revealing your techniques, I will get some Winsor and Newton white ink in the next few days. I am currently doing a picture of a tiger and when I have previously painted tigers the whiskers are always a pain. But the white ink with pen-nibs might be the answer.
Thanks and all the best

No problem man. Yeah, i'd say actual white ink is yer best bet. For whiskers you'll need tight, consistent lines. Ink should work fine for yeh.
