Artist's Comments

ok, I just bought my first digital camera today and I'm pretty excited! I drew this last week, but I wasn't able to take a picture of it before now, so I'm pleased that I can share it. This is an ink drawing of Napoleon and Josephine strolling in a peaceful garden, which is based on a photo I took at Casa Loma in Toronto. If I had pictures from France, I would have used them, but I'm planning a research trip/fun vacation to Paris sometime this year, so hopefully I'll get lots of source material then.

I drew this for drawing class. I'm working on a second drawing, an interior shot, and it's killing me, all the details!

Thanks a lot. It's a combination of two techniques: drawing the ink on full-strength with a pen, and watering it down to apply with a brush.

Woow, that's very detailed! o.o
The ink techinque looks just like watercolour, which I thought you had used for this picture, it never knew you could do something like this with just ink.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

Yep, you can use ink just like watercolour, nice thing about it is unlike watercolour, it's permanent when it dries!

Ah I see. Something tells me that not any kind of ink works for that.

I used a coloured acrylic ink for this, but it works with india ink too.
