This is a "Study" of Inking techniques. The original artwork is taken from a Book called "Drake's Comprehensive Compendium of Dragonology". I used the Calligraphy Pen/Brush to draw this in Inkscape 0.92.4 to mimic the original inking style. (as I don't own the original I will reserve the rights on this upload)
"Here be Dragons" Freehand drawing from a reference image (from Unsplash) Used the Calligraphy tool with a Wacom Intuos CTL-480s Pen Tablet I need to brush up on cross hatching...
Inspired by the name INKSCAPE. "Draw Freely" continues with flow/escape of ink of various vibrant colors. Tried to keep it very simple and clear. Fonts used: Sacramento, Roboto Light/Black
I gave a Live presentation at Chemnitzer Linux Tage (Chemnitzer Linux Days) this year, 2022, as part of the Inkscape Booth. In this presentation, I took a sketch through to a completed, "Ink" drawing, using Inkscape. It was great fun, with lots of fantastic interaction from everyone watching. I was using a "One by Wacom" Pen Tablet, But I also demonstrated how to do this with only a mouse.
A set of pen stroke looking filters on paper. When working with ink it is a must... Best viewed in inkscape. To add these to the dropdown list, check this tutorial: http://goinkscape.com/how-to-save-custom-filters-in-inkscape/
This picture was drawn with the Pen Tool and a Mouse, just to prove anyone can join in with Inktober, you don't need a Pen Tablet. The splash of water colour is a combination of two stock filters, Silk Carpet and Watercolour with a linear gradient to vary the tone.
My idea was to make this very simple, an ink escaping prison with its tools to draw freely.
Drawn for Day 6 of Inktober2017 This started as a pencil sketch using 3 different reference images, the pose, the clothes and finally the Sword. The Inking was done freehand using the Calligraphy Tool and a Wacom Pen Tablet
