pretty awesome! I think efficiency and efficacy wise, scribbling is the winner. unless you can control the ink wash somehow so it doesnt mess with your table
3rd one for sure... I been playing with scribble technique as well for my games. I guess I got exited with some of the mother ship art. More texture, different approach to details, fast and expressive.
For the scribble part, it remember the small tutorial live stream you did a while ago on an website made for drawing with multiple person. You told us to make monster from scribble. It was fun and now I can see a result from a professional, very cool 😄(also I think hink wash can give amazing result but pretty hard to use it)
The marker style has been something I really wanted to try out myself. Gets the basic idea out of my brain to then add details to later. Trying to figure out the "bulk" of the drawing before anything gives me too many artistic paralysis. Thanks for the video, it was very insightful!
I had not considered art as a way of journaling until I found your channel. Today's video was especially intriguing. I do not have any artistic skills or training, but I can doodle. Great topic!
I wonder if an ink pad would work instead of an open bottle. You may end up with less ink on the towel, but it's also much harder to spill. This was fascinating to watch -- I tend to get way too involved in drawings and love seeing methods for loosening up.
Great content! I think the 2 minute idea is a fantastic compromise to add immersion to the game, but keep focused on keeping the game moving. Always time to revisit the artwork after the session to finish them off. I like the ink blot style because of the contrast, but was surprised how interesting the scribble style turned out!
To address the contrast issues with the marker method, could you use a black marker? Using a very light gray for the under drawing if you need it, then blocking in large shadows with a black marker, then adding finer detail with the brush pen. I do like the way the ink smudge ends up looking, but it does seem like its more responding to the initial randomness to draw out the image, which seems at bit at odds with the purpose of getting images from your imagination quickly on to the page. (if that is the purpose you are going for). Similar for the scribble style I would recommend more big swatches of black or using those thicker markers or pens to up that chiaroscuro contrast and drama. Great work! I could learn a thing or two from this, I always kinda end up with a big backlog of drawing ideas after a solo rpg session.
You should put the ink bottle in some kind of open square box container that will make it harder to spill. Like when I drink a can of soda while playing boardgames I'll put the can in a mug.
I've been planning on doing a solo rpg for a while so this is helpful.
Great tips Chao, I’ll have to try these out!
your understanding and explanation is great

oh man that was a while back! thanks for the comment kfox i hope you are doing well!
@@Chaoclypse I'm doing well. I need to catch up on your roleplaying vids 😉

I really enjoy your work. Fun to watch your creative process.
Thanks! That means a lot.

@@sammykat2hb Ooh, I’ve never heard of ink pads! I’ll look into it, thanks.
You're very welcome! Any hobby store with scrapbook materials should carry them, and they come in different colors

I really hate the scribble style, but it actually looked cool the way you did it here. Nice work.
wow man that was cool as hell! thanks for that.
@@SaintSolo Glad you enjoyed the vid!! :))
@Chaoclypse i really did. You made it look effortless!
awesome styles :3

The open ink bottle is the sword of damocles

@@cjackdc ooh!! that's a neat idea!
