    Apply the masking tape to your pants leg or arm to make the tape less adhesive when attempting to remove.

    As a watercolor artist I find all of your tips valuable for any medium really, even graphite. You are so young and professional, back in the days it probably took artist a lifetime to learn all those tricks and technics.

    Excellent job, Devin. You are an excellent teacher (as a professor, I've taught some 30,00 students in the past thirty years, and by my standards, you have done a great job.) i've been seriously drawing and painting for some sixty years, and the practical guidance you offer (and explain) is greatly appreciated!

    bro, i had one of your drawings as my phone background for over a year! Realized while watching this video that you are the artist. It was one with a wolf mama and pup, they were looking at each other. It reminds me of me and my little girl.
    gonna try ink soon! thank you for all these tips!

  • @labsquadmedia176
    @labsquadmedia176 4 года назад +71

    Clear. Well-paced. Helpful.
    My tip: nearly anything can be a mark-making tool with ink. I've used twigs, feathers, popsicle sticks, q-tips, drinking straws. It's a ton of fun and promotes discovery and out-of-box thinking.

    • @squintygreeneyes
      @squintygreeneyes 4 года назад +4

      hey, thanks for reminding me that i found a beautiful little feather recently! do you ever worry about contaminating your inks? i would think that putting random things in there could possibly cause a mold to form inside the bottle or something if not sterilized or what ever.
      update: im an idiot, just realized i could easily eyedropper a small portion of the ink into a separate thing to dip from *forehead slap

    Oh my! Where to start. Number 1, I only listen to people who can do, then teach. Your artwork is absolutely gorgeous. So expressive and alive. Practicing for over 50 years and still haven't gotten it right. Your pencils are to die for. Tip 21: A bad drawing will ruin any art. Concentrate on the drawing. Make the drawing as good as possible. Then ink. Highest praise for the video and the content. Stunning work.

    Peeling the tape slowly off at 45° angle to itself really helps reduce tear potential. Someone else already mentioned pre-sticking it to a pant leg reduces adhesion depending on the tape and need.

    I love adding bits of salt to puddles of wet-on-wet washes as they dry up in unique ways just as with the wet ink dispersing on its own in the puddles. I use it for spacey night sky effects.

    Removing Tape Trick: Use a blow-dryer in a rocking back and forth motion over the tape while you are removing it. When the tape is heated up the glue is slightly inert and lifts without tearing. If you don't rock the the blow-dryer, to much heat will melt the glue to the paper.

  • @chariots8x230
    @chariots8x230 3 года назад

    Thank you for the helpful tips! 😊
    If you make any more videos on this topic, I’d love some tips specifically on character inking, such as:
    *1)* How do you ink a tanned skin tone versus a dark skin tone?
    *2)* How do you ink rosy cheeks and apply blushing to characters?
    *3)* How do you ink freckles?
    *4)* What lines do you show & what do you omit when drawing a character’s face, in order to avoid unintentionally making them look older than they are?
    *5)* How do you apply shadows to a character’s skin, hair and clothing?
    *6)* How do you ink different types of hair?
    *7)* How do you ink clothing and apply different textures to it?
    *8)* How do you create shiny/reflective things, such as clothing & jewelry?
    *9)* How do you ink really fine details?
    *10)* How do you simplify highly detailed things by creating an illusion through texture without drawing every little detail? (For example, a photo might have a lot of detail but you wouldn’t necessarily want much detail on an ink drawing of the same subject in the photo, yet it’s tricky to figure out how to correctly simplify.)
    *11)* How do you preserve pure whites in the drawing? (For example, with watercolor people sometimes use masking fluid. Is there something similar used for ink illustrations?)
    *12)* How do you depict different moods?
    *13)* How do you create a glowing & sparkling effect?
    *14)* How do you add a dark & gloomy effect?
    *15)* How do you ink freely flowing things such as hair blowing in the wind, and splashing water?
    *16)* What ink techniques do you use to depict speed, and how would this compare to a static scene?
    I’m a beginner at inking but I’d really love to learn more so I can create different types of characters & scenes. I’m a little nervous about how to approach inking because it feels like everything has to be very precise. It helps to see videos on how to approach inking different things.
