So here's a painting I did, experimenting with an old bottle of ink that I found (
Windsor and Newton Drawing Indian Ink ). The technique is called spit-shading by a lot of people, but there's no actual spit involved.
On the right is the line inking (the page on the left of the image), and the initial sketch done on tracing paper (on the right)
The line ink prior to shading.
The shaded example. To be honest, I'm not happy with the eyelashes, and I've got this nagging feeling that it would look better if the dark shades were darker - however, I'm not going to touch it, just going to try to learn from it. I've learned that there's a point where it's better to leave something alone, start fresh, and try to learn from your mistakes. It's a lesson George Lucas should learn.
