Description
I was messing around with a quill and some ink :3 Thanks *ArtisticDuality for the presentsThis was for this awesome dress contest: [link] but sadly I finished too late!
The title's from a song that reminds me of someone I know, everytime I hear it on the radio. I really hate that song lol, but my friend loves it

I like the ink drops, that looks like blood and the cobweb on her face is a great idea!

Thankyou! I was thinking about doing some large oil or acrylic paintings with girls in dresses like this. So here's the deal, I need some advice about err... how to go about doing this. I have canvases, now I need acrylic paints and lessons on how to actually use them without destroying the canvas lol HELPPPP.

Anna-Anaria In reply to SashaFitzgerald [2008-11-15 04:47:01 +0000 UTC]
ahhhh yes! thats a problem, normal canvas's dont absorb ink very well :S maybe if you prime the canvas first a few times...hermmmmmm Ive only ever used ink on paper before it works really well on plastic.....LOL but thats no help....

SashaFitzgerald In reply to Anna-Anaria [2008-11-16 03:11:27 +0000 UTC]
Thanks for the tips... I may try gesso and a sharpie pen. Though wouldn't acrylic paint kind of cover the inking? HMM... I just don't know. Plastic you say? XD

acrylic paint is pretty translucent. your inkwork will show through for the most part..

Yep, but I don't know if I would like the way it would lighten the lines... thanks for the suggestion though!

Wonderful work, Sasha! I really LOVE the detail and urge you to work with pen & ink (a watercolor wash in the background would be cool too) more often. The steadiness of your hand leaves me jealous.

You're back! I'm so happy to see you here. I miss you're thoughtful comments! Thanks so much for the vote of confidence, now I'll definitely try more drawings in pen and ink. The watercolour wash is an intriguing idea
Thanks again, and I'm so happy you're back!
How are things, anyway?

I missed you too, and was really happy to see one or my favorite artists pick up a quill & ink. I used to do many, many Pen & Ink drawings in the past. It's a great mental exercise to put down a watercolor wash FIRST, then pick out images to enhance with your pen. You might scare yourself though.

My friend does something similar with ink and tea, and coffee and soy sauce. We tell him this is his "condiment phase.

oh shit.....sorry for the language but that is detail lol. even in long slender character you maintain a strong level of detail that flows through her flawlessly.
ugh you dont need watermarks with your sig down there . let me rasterize that signature for you.
