Today I felt lie unstreaching myself and doing a little bit of my old style pre-ascii pin and ink art with some of my new celtic knot work. Maybe on day I will do a celtic knot naked lady out of pin and ink hand drawn ascii on black canson paper with shading done in chalk and tie it all together. I know most of you haven't seen any of my pin and ink work before because most of it didn't survive the move to VA though I did get some of my sketch books back so some small examples survive. I always wanted to do ink work that looked like it was printed with carved wood cuts.
I decided to go with a simple two color lithograph style color scheme on this one which when combined with the coloring really looks like it was done from a wood cut. The colors were darker but 5824 said I should tone down the green a little and when I did that I had to town down the gold a little and the results are, I think, actually very sweet. |
