Rough Ink Challenge

Introducing our August/September Patreon Challenge!

Welcome to an inky challenge!  (because I am terrible at being on the same inktober schedule as the rest of the internet!  Yeah!!  We're on our own calendar pals!)

For this challenge I want you to grab a rough inking brush to practice making some rough ink artwork! 

The CSP Brush I used for these examples is attached to the bottom of the post!

Level 1 can include thinner lines and HATCHING to indicate some shadows and detail.  This style may look a little more delicate.  The hatching can follow the contour of the features.


Level 2 is all about being bold and color BLOCKING.  There should be no or very minimal gradation between the shadow and the light.  This look can be very harsh but it is a really good way to practice simplifying the shapes that shadows make!

If you need some inspiration, I recommend looking at harsh portrait lighting reference.  mike mignola is also an amazing comic artist to look at for inspiration around this technique!  


Level 3 Reveal will be September 1st!
Deadline for the whole challenge is September 30th!

I'm super excited to try this out with you guys!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
