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...
Once you input these settings, you will need to adjust the sensitivity of your Pen pressure in the Tablet drivers. This will be different for each individual.
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
