Illustration Friday: Clique
Here's a quick sketch for this week's word "Clique". I'm playing around a bit with my dipping pen and ink again as I was inspired by the work at the Charles Schultz Museum by the master himself. I tried to draw kings and queens in their typical poses of "drama".
Drawing my dog Angel with the same pen and ink from above. I really liked the quality of the line, so I'm posting it. The lines really seem to speak to me, like a symphony of various sounds only it's in lines. I've noticed that when I draw a quick line and I'm confident with the stroke, I get the best results.
Have a good week everyone.

Funny expression :)
ReplyDeletelooks like your dog wants to join the clique... ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe clique of drama queens is great Vern but the dog is super! A great piece indeed, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the dip pen work; it's really good. Your drama kings and queens are all too familiar. Love the dog. Now you've insprired me to take up my chop-stick again; it's what I've enjoyed using with ink.
ReplyDeleteNice lines of using pen and ink, Vern. Although I haven't tried using it before, the result comes out wonderful of your sketching! The expressions of your characters are really funny, too!
ReplyDeleteI like experimenting with hand drawing too. Unfortunately when it comes to actually doing the work I always default to doing it digitally because that's where I do most of my work, and so I'm most proficient that way.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's always nice to practice and experiment!
Nice entry for this week!
what a nice dog!
