    Beautiful!

    Is this ink or watercolour? How did you learn to create art like this, I’d love to learn this style!

      Thank you.

      Lines are done with a pen.

      Shading is via a bottle of waterproof ink, a paintbrush, and water.

      So in a way it’s a watercolour, but all ink.

      I hope that helps.

      All learning has been through YouTube videos.

          This ink wash thing is new to me, and I agree. I’d only ever thought of black. However, this is a beautiful blue, and I’m staring down the rabbit hole, as I now see all the beautiful inks out there. Some are smooth and rich, others granulate, and are matte and muted. Too much fun.

    I’m working on a setting for my tabletop roleplaying games and this is exactly the type of stuff I pictured for my books !
