Thanks!

Yeah, I’m on most of the things:

No, I think this one is done.

That’s actually one of the harder things for me – knowing when it’s done. I rarely ever have a plan and just improvise, so it’s tough to tell when to stop. I’ve definitely overworked a bunch of these 😅

The linework I did with a brush. The stippling I did with a fountain pen + felt-tip brush pen.

Yeeeeeaaahh 🙌

Been enjoying this series!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks!

I guess technically this would fall under the “stippling” umbrella. “Pointillism” generally means using full color for the dots, usually with paint.

But I’m not really the pedantic type, so whatever. I usually say stippling.

This always comes up when people look at my stuff. Love it! I definitely watched quite a lot of that screensaver.

Mark Kistler? If so, I loved watching that when I was a kid.

I did this one with inks. Brush for the colors, dip pen (and a bit of brush) for the black.

I’m also a Migadu user. Nothing but good experiences with them. Simple, solid, and straightforward.

With this alcohol-based paint it was just the easiest way to get the fine lines I wanted.

The paint would clog up a fountain pen / technical pen pretty much immediately, and refillable felt-tip pens (like for paint pens) would be thicker than I wanted.

Yeah, I’m an artist on mastodon.art. Not a huge fan their heavy moderation and the drama it creates. I’d love to switch instances, but hate that previous posts don’t travel with you.

Thanks!

I think one factor is I generally don’t use a ruler/straightedge — just freehand it. So every line has varying degrees of imperfection.

That’s super cool! I’ll try and check it out if I’m ever in the area.
