Description Havent done a lot of real watercolor painting in a while so I decided to give it a go. I started inking some of the lines I liked with a sepiatone ink and started hitting a couple small areas to get myself used to working with the watercolors. So far so good.
I want to get this one finished by this weekend for the Baltimore con so I can have some prints ready.

Nice watercolors here! I can't wait to see what this looks like as a final piece.

I was wondering, do you do your black lines afterwards? What do you use?

I am actually using some sepia ink to do all the line work. I wanted to go ahead and ink the lines I liked before going in and painting the pieces that have been finished.
I'm using a crow quill pen to do the line work with sepia ink then go back and paint the areas with windsor and newton watercolors. This is all done on a piece of 140# cold press watercolor paper.
The sepia ink looks very dark but it has a softer, warmer tone than the black ink which come across as having a cooler tone.
Glad you dig it and I will get the finished piece up as soon as I get it done.
