It comes in a set and is really inexpensive, but outside of my tiny detail brushes it has become my workhorse this year. Thanks to the Inktober Artsnacks box and previous Artsnacks boxes I now have a couple of very nice paintbrushes and one very expensive ($30) sable-haired brush.. these feel way too precious for playing in ink and I haven’t wanted to use them at all this month.
BRING IN THE GRACE ART SET! The price is right and the shape of the smallest round brush just feels really good in my hand. I guess the point I am trying to make is that they don’t feel precious thanks to their price point, and that they are just a very decent set for learning with.

My 3 gray Prismacolor markers officially died on this pic 🙁 Sad day! Interesting that they all died at the same time, but not too surprising since they were mostly used for backgrounds like this anyhow.

On the plus side, I do believe I am figuring out how to upload non-ruined pictures into wordpress. Hooray!

Inktober Day 7 – Tea Bear

That tea (Moonlight Sonata cake by Whispering Pines Tea Company) is both one of the most beautiful cakes of pressed tea I have ever seen, as well as being absolutely delicous. Though it has kind of gone through phases since I bought it back in March, as when it first arrived it was just a really nice tea. Nothing remarkable stood out so much. Then 3 months later that SAME cake smelled and tasted like INSANELY STRONG dill. So weird! And by god was that a pleasantly odd drink for a dill-lover such as myself 🙂
But now it has really mellowed out and there is just the slightest hint of dill flavor at the back of what is an extremely drinkable tea.

But back to the subject of drawing, after this weekend I am planning on doing some pictures that are waaaaay outside of my comfort zone. Interior drawing and some backgrounds, some ink washes (scary!). There will still be animals and plants in those pics, though, I’ll be honest.

Hopefully more frequent videos to come, but technical difficulties abound and this might be more of a working-out-the-kinks month 🙂

Ink drawing of a deer with spring leaves, buds and flowers growing from it's antlers

And after having drawn with newer-to-me materials mostly this month it felt like I had SO much more line control going back to just felt tips for this piece. Don’t get me wrong, the dip pen and brushes have sent me over the moon and they will be in my life forever. But you just can’t beat the feeling of effortlessly clean lines sometimes!
