Thanks you so much for your guidance! Awesome technique. Can't wait to try it myself, but I'll try to make it work on silk clothes. Thinking of it, silk is pretty hydrophobic so it can work somehow. The only thing I need are right consistency paint and lots of practice. Thank you!
Me too. 🙂The tools are very important. You need calligraphy liquid ink (bokueki or bokuju in Japanese). Also the brush is quite firm and resilient, the paper is thick, glossy and doesn't absorb ink. The brush movement is up-down and forward at the same time. This is how you get that dragon skin texture.
@@fantasia12341 The paper is thick, not textured, glossy and doesn't absorb ink. Like the one which is used for posters. The brush should glide on it and the ink stay on the surface. Calligraphy paper won't work well with this technique.
I'm in love with this art! Thanks for sharing! I live in Brazil and I've been trying this technique for some time...I follow Nikko's work on RUclips, it's really incredible! I saw some of your answers about paints and brushes, do you know more about which papers give the best results? The ones I have aren't that fluid... Thanks!!! (Sorry for my English, I went to the translator...🙄🤭)

It's really amazing.... Th whole process... ouaw ! Please, what king of brush do you use ??? I intend to find but... Without the exact name... impossible. Coul you tell me ??? MErci beaucoup. Thank you a lot. Have a nice day with sun.
Thank you for you comment! As I wrote in description, it is a Japanese artist from Nikko, not me. But I am an artist too and use the same kind of brushes. It is a big calligraphy brush, NOT soft. You can find them in any calligraphy shop in Japan and online. Try to search for the brands Akashia or Bunmeido. By the way, the paper should not absorb the ink.
Awesome, thank you very much for the information. Ive been trying to find out more and you gave me all the answers! Very useful and helpful!!

I need to learn how to do this! I have become obsessed with this style of dragon painting.

@@KaeiJapan Challenge question, can anyone do this on a wall?
@@macrick It can be difficult due to materials , specific brush movement and pressure. Not impossible but challenging.
