It’s not the Desdemona from Othello, but I thought it was quite a nice title. Basically I wanted a girl in mostly white framed by these dark shadow things behind her.

Quick inks on top of blue sketch (removed the blue lines) of a nude angel girl.

Was trying out the pen on some proper Shikishi paper. Paper is thicker than I thought it would be. Pen doesn’t react interestingly on this, not any more different that the 100gsm cartridge paper I was using. Will try real ink with a brush at some other date.

Various sketches I did some time ago with an ink pen. I doodle stuff when I’m trying to come up with ideas.

Wordpress is seriously driving me crazy today. So this is kinda fitting I guess. Brush pen, india ink, watercolor and Photoshop.


Victorian dress is really fun to draw - the skirts and bodices lend well to hyper feminity. It’s a nice period to subvert too, visually, since it was a time when culture was really so full of itself that deviations stand out very easily. Ink pen for the first sketch, brush pen and Photoshop for the second.

I don’t quite like the girl but the tiger came out pretty good.

Got a grey brush pen, was playing around with it with the normal one.

It was supposed to be something to do with Kali or Shiva or something. Then I added the horses. I don’t really draw with a theme in mind, it’s just stuff my brain cooks up, at least for these. Ink brush and Photoshop.

Had a bad few days of sketching, this was the first sketch that started to look decent again.
