Ink Studies #12

Brian — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:00:30 +0000

Studies after Arno. Trying to get a grip on his highly distilled style, trying to get a grip on this (newish, unfamiliar) brush, trying to get warmed up for other drawings.

From an old photo. Brush and ink in sketchbook.

Ink Studies #10

Studies after Mauldin and Eisner. Mauldin is gold for fans of evocative brushwork. I notice that he and Eisner both have the “feathered shadow” thing, where some folds and shadows have hatching instead of being solid black shapes. Maybe it was the era.

Some studies after Eisner. Man, his drawings are full of detail.
