Description
Well well well....look who busted out the ol' black stuff and got himself all dirty and the like.
This is a cover for an Eagle Scout dinner program that my troop is having this weekend. Yes, I am involved in Scouting and yes, I am an Eagle Scout as well.
I more or less threw damn near every inking technique into this one. Dry Brush, grease pencil, hatching, stippling, Pro-White, splatter...it's all in here somewheres. The mountain gets lost I feel, but then again I just dropped it in, as usual, so hey.
In person, this thing is pretty boss. It felt good working in black and white again. Hopefully you'll agree with moi.
Techs: Ink on 9" x 12" smooth bristol board

From one Eagle to another, many congratulations. My troop used it once, and I still have the original. Don't plan on giving it up for a while.

You did an amazing job with making this so brisk and defined. Everything is really bold and clean and it really just jumps off of the screen. Beautiful. Definate fav.

Amazed even myself with this one. It all came together quickly and with little effort. Ah, if only all drawings were that way....
Good to hear that you appreciate it.

Oh you just gotta love those that flow right out of your brain and they just come out so splendidly.
Oh I really do. ^^ Real and gorgious art is so rare these days.

When you mean "real and gorgeous art", are you referring to work done by traditional means, a la ink and paint? Just wondering.

Well art that seems moreso...straight from the heart and the soul. You could think of it in that way also though because such a large piece in ink would no doubt be a tad taxing.

Thanks Mitch! I will keep inking my work. Trust me I've inked others and it didn't turn out so well, so I'll keep on smearing my own stuff!
