Image from my latest coloring book, “Kids Play . . .” I know, the whole “Army” thing is a bit dated, but it was always fun! At least they’ll like the lego’s
Here are the inks for my latest set of ‘Clamcakes.’ These are all hand done. I’m quite old school that way, kind of. While I can do these digitally, I much prefer the hand drawn approach. At the same time, I can do them (and have done them) with the really old school Crow Quill pen(s) and ink well. I love inking them that way, but it takes longer. So, I use Fudenasuke “brush” pens and Micron pens.
In this era of everything being digital, particularly with the advent of AI, I feel it’s more important than ever to keep these techniques alive! And, until they come up with an autopen for drawing, this will remain a human endeavor.
Working on this Spiderman/Halloween piece. Here are the pencils and the inks. Getting pretty close with the color. Will post soon.

Gotta say, while the inks transfer better, I do love pencils. Particularly the texture and depth they have – Although you have to see them in person to fully see it. (‘course, I laove the way the inks look too!)
