Thank you this'll take me far

You make this look so easy! I might actually try your beginners video, and that says a lot because I am drawing-phobic.

[@MsCoopersArtClass]

You can do it! :) Thanks for watching!

There's actually a reason to work from dark to light with this medium. It's because you can pull ink from the dark areas if it's still fresh on the paper. It can make some tonal gradients a bit smoother if you're careful with it.

[@MsCoopersArtClass]

Yes, that's a great strategy.

hi so I guess you blend it right away before it gest dry ,right?

[@MsCoopersArtClass]

Yes, if you're using a tool to blend it.

[@abacdse]

Every line is an individual stroke is that correct

[@MsCoopersArtClass]

Yes, that's correct. The whole drawing is made of many small lines/strokes.
