Truly Inkspirational


So, I have been messing around with sumi ink recently and I find it very forgiving, though detailed areas can be a pain.
I'm not sure whether the brushed line looks good or whether my tastes have changed. I think I would be indifferent to this piece if I was once again the majestic faun of my youth.

Anywho, I chucked in a Gustav klimpt background pattern for the sake of fill and I am reading a book about him at the moment.
It's really nice when an artist can draw, and I mean actually draw, not just scribbles. Klimpt and Mucha are notables who give their drawings life and don't get carried away by abstraction.
