You've made GaGa more attractive with vibrant yet subtle, If you will when you have some time explain how you created this piece in a private message?

um i can tell you here if you want XD its not a secret. when i do traditiona work i always use brown paper as it has a better texture and you can be a big rougher with the wet mediums and it won't go gammy etc. and then you just later watered down ink with crayon and do the highlights with acrylic ^-^ its a really fun way of working. oh and i back the brown paper with masking tape to give it strength

You're most welcome, I have always wanted to try it with different coloured paper, but most of the time I dont have the guile.

brown paper is a safe bet if your wanting to experiment - especially since its quite durable.
also if your adding colour i would go with inks over anything because they're vibrant no matter how much you water them down. and layering with inks is fun ^-^

Thank you for the advice, Im going to try it. I wish I had known the thing about inks earlier on, I learned the heard way that no matter if the pens promise they do not run, there is a chance. But i do love working with ink.

well try using a paint brush instead - pretty much use them like watercolours - however remember the colours are much more intense. even for the details, use a thinner detail brush and when outlining or you require more depth in shadows etc go for crayons or a graphics pen ^-^

I have tried using the bamboo ink brushes but they always end up falling apart very soon, and since I am on a very limited budget, I end sharpening the ends of paintbrushes. I have yet to try working with crayons or a graphic pen though.

i use synthetic brushes i got from an art shop that were about £1.99 for a pack of 5 and they work just fine and don't fall apart like more expensive animal hair based brushes.
usually they're in stationary shops and the packs are specific to what you need (so detail brushes or flat square brushes for acrylic based painting)
when it comes to practise work you really shouldnt spend loads - you only really need to when its a commission and you are being paid to use what you use.
if you take care of the synthetic brushes and wash all the paint/ink out after they'll last you for ages and you'll probably only need to cut of random hairs that just kink from overuse.

Ok, got it, synthetic brushes are better. Are there synthetic brushes that are harder or tougher? because thats the reason I use the hiar ones, they seem to be better to work with on oil paintings, But only being able to buy the cheap ones, I always find pieces of hair from the brush on my work.
Unfortunatly, I have not gotten to the point where I have any decent commissions, or any commissions at all haha. Only sometimes do I get the chance to enter something in a contest or show.

they're just easier to work with when you're on a budget. the fact that they are synthetic means they are pretty much as smooth as the animal hair brushes - there isn't much of a difference except sometimes some strands may kink which means you just have to cut those bits off. if they get in your work just get them out with tweezers so it doesnt effect the work.

Thank you, I went out and got some synthetic hair brushes and am glad to say that they are working great. Also they seem easier to clean than the animal hair brushes, which is a bonus. Thank you :>
