Pen & Ink Art work

I did some of these for Graphic Design in 1987 for ATI, and that was when computer art was beginning to emerge.

All of these were done by hand. Just getting into the Graphic Design course, I had one chance in 6 of being accepted to do this course at all.

I am happy that I did this course and it only lasted for 5 months.

Some of these art works came after that.

Now I want to do pen & ink in colour. Dot, cross hatch and dry brush.

I got the materials and soon I will start this work. In future instalments.

By the way, there are no mechanical aides, to these drawings, it is done manually by hand.

Commercial art work is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration!

Graphic Design Entry Dot work

This is of my sister Felicity in her wedding dress in pen & ink.

One of my entry drawings for Graphic Design.

Thanks Lapka, pointillism takes a lot of patience.

House for entry for Graphic Design

In those days, we had an awful pen to use, a Rotring, which was hard to clean, easy to misuse and it had many types of nibs.

Despite your unease with the pen your rendering of this house is superb.

Gandalf the Grey

In Art work, I break the rules, I have always liked blue ball point pen. So here it is, done when "Lord of the Rings" was brought up on film by NZ director, Peter Jackson.

Aragon of Arathorn

Getting ready for battle, I used a Black pen. It was not a Rotring pen.

Saruman The White

I overdid it but still like it.

I used a Staedtler pen, I get them in sets from "National Art Supplies" in Onehunga where I live.

I have no idea what a Staedtler pen is, but it does great art conducted by you…

The Staedtler brand is one for pencils and pens with enduring inks. It is highly recomended. Thanks for the compliment HistoryGal

“The Brat is Back!” John Macinroe Tennis star

I guess every star has his or her moments! Who can blame the with the stress they go through to get there.?

Still no excuse to behave like a spoiled Brat!

Yes, I did this with the Rotring pen!

I have many more pen & inks but I think 6 entries today is enough.

I must say I never liked him too much…

Yes, he certainly was a brat and couldn’t believe a grown man should behave like that.

You are quite the talented artist in pencil or and ink no less. The good old fashion way. I liked every one of them. Cannot wait to see more.

These are wonderful works of art. I suppose it’s particularly hard to make a portrait

If you know the basics about human anatomy you can do portraits. Most art schools don’t teach proper human anatomy mostly because the tutors don’t know.
Classical art is having a revival and soon that will be taught again

WOW! Awesome artwork!
Pen and Ink is never a thing for me …
I screwed up badly with them!

Thanks Alibb, I just play with doing drawings and enjoy it. When you are too uptight about the results, its bound to fail.
Its good therapy just to do it and don’t worry
