Drawing Technique I map out a line drawing in pencil, and go over that with ink, and then work into the outline and gradually fill it in. If I am working in colour, I then work over the inked areas with colour pencil, and bring out the highlights with Chinagraph; the slightly oily texture they produce is wonderful for deepening colour. (My colour drawings have a slightly blue tint, as a tribute to the twilight effects of the Hammer Horror movies.) I work mainly on white mounting board, which is durable to carry around, and has a compressed surface ideal for using a Biro. |
