Purple Finch in Ink

Ink is proving to be a truly fascinating medium. I’m continuing my moody backgrounds, drawing in my basic design with pencil, and then using a fountain pen for hatching and details. With this one, I felt like it was too gray, and I decided to add color. I’m really glad I did, sticking with greens and reds and a little bit of a white Inktense pencil for highlights (so much better than a gel pen). I’m really liking this combination, and if it wasn’t for the dreaded paper warping, I’d continue to use it for pretty much everything.
