It’s my cake day, so I thought I should post something. I just completed this yesterday.
It’s about 11 x 17" or around 28 x 43 cm
Sorry about the lousy photo quality, my phone/camera is not the greatest.
Hope you like it!
Love this style
Thank you!
I just developed it over the past few weeks so that’s actually really nice to hear because I’ve been skeptical about how it will be received.
Did you use one of those pentel Japanese brush pens?
No, I’m not a fan of those, actually. The brush fibers are way too limp, so I feel like I have no control like I’m drawing with a wet noodle.
EDIT: Actually, I’m not sure. I thought you were talking about one of these, which are just terrible.
Here’s what I used (tried to get detail of the brush fibers and name). I get them from a local art store. Maybe they are a cheap knock off of a Pentel or something, I can’t find them online.
The brush fibers are really stiff and nice, but the ink quality is not great, so I will probably move on, honestly. I’d love to know if you have any experience/opinions about any of them.
Are you on Pixelfed? Or somewhere else? I want to follow you.
Most of he modern internet is super commercial and seems to just gobble up everything that gets near it so I make an effort to keep my real, tangible, life in interactive, “meat space,” as much as possible.
That said, I didn’t know about Pixelfed. Also, I guess I didn’t consider people far away actually wanting to see what I’m doing lol. I appreciate the suggestion. If I start an account, I can DM you if you’d like. The Fediverse is just so fantastic and may make the Net fun to use again, I love it.
Its true, I have been looking for genuine things, being movies, art or technology for a while now. It looks your where sharing something you are passionate about and your art somewhat ressembles what my godmother used yo engrave on wood for me, so I thought I could follow you to see more since I’m have not been to my godmother’s workshop for a long time. So if your ever make an account or a website please send it to me.
