  • How to draw an Iris flower in an inked hatching style, with black ink and a brush pen for Inktober. In this inking tutorial, I demonstrate some simple inking techniques you can try with your brush pen drawing. I show you how to use hatched brushstrokes to achieve a stylized image, in black & white. Once you understand the basic approach of using lines close together to represent grey tone, you can apply this style to just about any of your ink drawing! This Pentel Brush pen tutorial is drawn on 135gsm textured paper.

    Love your inked drawing! Thank you for your instructional video verbalizing how you decide the line weight with a brush pen.

    I am a big fan of high contrast art. That being said I am a fan of this piece :) Well done Sir! I will have to break out some brush pens and try it myself.

    • @gee355Art
      @gee355Art  3 роки тому +1

      Hi, thanks for kind words 🙂 I like high contrast too (when I can make it work!) But I do love the challenge of hatching to create tone. Cross-hatching? Not so much, I tend to overdo it 😄👍

      No problem and thanks for watching. It was one of those pictures where it just seemed to work and flow, where you get more confident as the picture progresses (they are not usually like that lol :D)

    I love lino print but have carpal tunnel and find the carving process makes it worse. I was looking for a technique that imitates the lino effect and shall get to work practising what you have taught here today. Thank you for this tutorial and would love to see more in this style :)

    Got a question! Is it a good idea to do cross hatching with a brush pen?

    • @gee355Art
      @gee355Art  4 роки тому

      Good question! I've learned over the years to use cross-hatching sparingly, just because hatching is usually good enough for me :D but I can't see any reason why cross-hatching wouldn't work! I guess it will not be as easy as using a fineline pen to do the same job but then the brush pen will look different. You might have just given me the idea to do a picture using cross-hatching with brush pen!! :D
      If you have a go, let me know how you get on!!

    Hi, gee...tried this black brush technique on a different flower. By the way I loved your breaded iris painting. Wonderful!
    So I drew two lillys with stems, leaves, new buds with light coming from upper left side. Started doing the bottom left, the darkest part. OK!! First off it was the wrong flower to pull off this black pen technique. Not much tone varied in the composition. Ok...it started dark and looked good but when I got to the lightest and mid tones, the shape of the flower didn't work.
    Now I am angry I wasted so much time on this piece and it was my first attempt as well.
    You mentioned a white gel pen to lighten the overly dark parts. What about white gouache. Won't white gel over black ink turn the mid tones into grey. Just trying to save my first try at this technique. Please help. Don't even like looking at the painting but wondered if changing to colors might help. I hate to throw things away. Learned my lesson!!!!
    I know I can experiment the hell out of this painting now. Very unhappy with this "thing".
    I hate being an artist and writer because I dislike everything I do. I can learn as much from a good painting more than a flucked out mistake. Sheeesh!!!!

    • @gee355Art
      @gee355Art  5 років тому

      I'm sorry you're feeling this way!! Take a step back and take a deep breath - does it REALLY look as disappointing as you say? As artists we can be very critical of ourselves... over-critical sometimes! If this is your first go at this type of approach, then don't pressure yourself to get it 'right' first time. It might take a few goes to get it looking how you want, the best thing to do is analyse what went wrong and try to prevent that from happening next time?
      I use either a POSCA paint pen or a Jelly Roll white gel pen sometimes. They can give a grey tone so I usually do 2 coats, letting it dry inbetween. I also use them very gently over the surface of the ink - I don't want to disturb it and then have it mix with the gel pen!!
      Let me know how you got on! :)

      @@gee355Art Hi, Gee...wanted to get back to you about my issues with blk brush painting. That nite I sat around with a few friends over wine and a suggestion was made to improvise a different plants entirely. This intrigued me since the painting in its present state was unattractive.
      So using a .05 copic wine pen, a fine sanguine and sepia pen, I composed an entirely different flower\plant. This gave some slight color and tone. Haven't finish it yet but am feeling better about the work. Yes, being too critical is my major flaw.
      Your blk brush pen picture in the rose and iris is so eye catching and beautiful, perhaps some day I shall give it a try again. Thanks.

    Great video demonstrating the Pentel gee, but what really caught my interest (no offense) was your mention of Bernie Wrightson! I grew up reading Creepy and Eerie comics as a kid, and I still remember his ink work on Poe's 'The Black Cat' and Lovecraft's 'Cool Air'! Epic! :)

    • @gee355Art
      @gee355Art  8 років тому +2

      There was amazing stuff back then!! Berni Wrightson's work on Frankenstein is just amazing and definitely casts a long shadow over my inking :) I grew up reading a lot of black & white comics like Lone Wolf & Cub, Usagi Yojimbo and more recently Blade of the Immortal but its Wrightson's Frankenstein I keep going back to...

    DUDE I NEED HELP. I got some paper for my water colour markers from a shop called cass art it was their own brad watter colour paper with 300 gsm and it was pressed but im still strugelling to blend out the marker ink !!!!!!!!!!!!

    • @gee355Art
      @gee355Art  8 років тому +1

      Okay: Which brand watercolour markers are you using?
      How soon do you add water after putting the markers on?
      Try all your colours - is it staining MORE with some colours and not others?

      @gee355Art  7 років тому

      :D Yup! The original idea I had last year was to upload a tutorial a week: watercolour, pigment marker, promarker and joker/wildcard each month :) This was a joker or wildcard video. I am trying to get back on track with that kind of timetable after letting watercolour completely TAKEOVER this year!
      Thanks for watching and staying with it until the end :D

    These lines are so shaky it would not fly with my teacher

    • @gee355Art
      @gee355Art  7 років тому +8

      Wow! It sounds like your teacher needs to be a little bit more open-minded about art :D I drew the outline loosely deliberately (or 'shaky' as you put it) because of the nature of the Iris's petal edges; they are like a frilly dress! I'm okay with the interior hatched lines but I do admit that some of them need to be more 'flowing' and competent and I'm working on those each time I use the brushpen :) I do recommend a brushpen though, because of the variety of line and effects that can be achieved with it!
