Description

Note to self: Don't use thin printer paper for stuff like this.ever.again.


I love drawing flowers, but I rarely do it for whatever reason. So have some red camellias, because they're pretty.


Repeats "note to self".

Printer paper is the enemy of nice ink art things. :/ Despite that, these camellias look great, almost stained glass like.

This is really pretty... but I gotta ask, what happened because you used printer paper?

The paper was too thin so the ink was running everywhere, it made it hard to make clean lines. Plus it can't take many layers of ink which didn't help xD

Thank you!

I always use printer paper (it's so much cheaper than a sketch pad), but luckily I usually just do pencil sketches, and then scan it into the computer for lining & coloring.  I don't have to layer ink (or work with paints).

Your "note to self" makes so much sense now.

Haha, yeah, printer paper is fine for just sketching, but ink doesn't work all too well on it xD

They can be really tricky, but it's very rewarding when you get them looking at least half decent

Thank you!
