    Hello! I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and have learned so much from them. Since I've been getting more and more into dip and brush pens, I was wondering if you'd make a video regarding line weight! Unless you've already made one, in which case apparently I'm blind haha. Thanks for reading.

    Dear, Chloe, finding your channel has been a blessing. I'm a beginner in the medium, and I really like your teaching style. Do you have a course on how to draw in this medium? I am using fineliners and watercolours, but I am having a very hard time to create line weight variation with these fineliners. Do you know where or how can I find a course to improve my technique with fineliners? Thanks so much for your videos.

    • @longstrideillustration
      @longstrideillustration  Před měsícem

      Glad you're enjoying the videos. I do happen to have a course that launched about 1 month ago available on both Udemy and Skillshare. Although the focus is on using dip pens, I also demonstrate how to reach similar effects using fine liner pens. Majority of the students who have submitted projects so far have used alternative tools to dip pens and still found the lessons quite valuable, giving 5-star reviews.

    @KAPtainCrunch8587 Před měsícem

    I notice that you hold your dip pen at an angle to create a more constant, thicker line than just pressing down harder. Is that a technique you would recommend for thick lines with that type of tool?

    • @longstrideillustration
      @longstrideillustration  Před měsícem +1

      It's best to hold dip pens at a 25-30 degree angle for the tines of the nib to hold the ink and work properly (and avoid leaks). I talk more about holding positions in my videos and more in my course (links in description). Dip pens allow for a broad range of line width by varying the pressure. If you're interested in choosing the right dip pen for your style this article might be helpful: longstrideillustration.com/best-dip-pens-for-drawing/

  • @ZoiusGM
    @ZoiusGM Před měsícem

    Good video. I have two questions: can a pen and ink drawer not draw lines at all at something he wants the value to be light (let's say he imagines the suit at 2:59 of the dude to be lime green)? Second question: can such a drawer use a different color ink like different tones of grey for values? How would that look like, using the same principles of lining and hatching that is done with black ink (but this time with different colors of inks)?

    • @longstrideillustration
      @longstrideillustration  Před měsícem

      Hmm, I'll do my best to answer this. I'm not as familiar with using colour, however the same principles apply (lighting, shading, tone, values) - for example, the primary colours hold the same 'value' number and it is by mixing them that the tone/hue changes. And so by mastering greyscale is how colourists excel. I made a couple of videos on how to translate nature or a colour painting into blackwork: czcams.com/video/T5L3w-QaFIg/video.htmlsi=HCL7HhKXoqKa76LF

      "Booth built up his white-line tones, section by section with pen and black ink alone, while other artists of his time worked on scratchboard" is what is quoted in the Treasury of American Illustrators.

      I don't think so, it's hard indeed, but it's possible to get long, straight and parallel lines with some practice. Our body can perform "miracles" after a good training. You can see an example of these long lines in one of my videos.

    • @longstrideillustration
      @longstrideillustration  Před měsícem

      There are a few warmup exercises that help with this, also moving from the shoulder and elbow rather than wrist and fingers. More ideas for training on my blog, longstrideillustration.com/directly-to-ink-drawing-exercises/ and on @RogerioLupoArteCientifica 's channel.

    For me no one matches the beauty of Booths line calligraphy …….I seem to remember that he also used the scratch board technique for getting those thin white lines out of solid blacks. Another artist who emulated his style is comic artist Alfredo Alcala. As much as I adore Bernie Wrightons work, Booth and Joseph Clement Coll, for me, are the tops when it comes to black and white ink work.
