Ok. Never used inks before. I'll pick some up tomorrow and see what I can do with them. Thank you.Grab a set of colored inks. You can do a lot with them. If you prefer a brush, you can get acrylic inks in small bottles and mix your colors in a dish.
By the way, what about the background? What do you suggest?Ok. Never used inks before. I'll pick some up tomorrow and see what I can do with them. Thank you.
Yes...I am considering putting out the money for 300 lb paper or creating my own paper blockThat's really nice! If your paper can take a little water you could also consider watercolor pencils if you have them. They're nice because you can get lines or washes. Maybe something like a hard pastel for the background so the paper won't warp?

I know this is a drawing. It is a picture of a beautiful young girl that was in National Geographic. It is not my composition. Her eyes though. I want the color of her eyes on this paper.Giving it a shot. Not sure where I'm going after the graphite and ink but I must apply color. It just needs it.
Just sayin'. How do you do this?I know this is a drawing. It is a picture of a beautiful young girl that was in National Geographic. It is not my composition. Her eyes though. I want the color of her eyes on this paper.
Having compared thru photograph, I see problems. Her eyes are wider than my drawingJust sayin'. How do you do this?
It is so much easier to recognize values thru black and white. I MUST learn how to translate values thru color.Just sayin'. How do you do this?
I am comfortable with that advice. I have never been a control freak, but when I can't control the medium I, well, freak. LolI like black and white work just as much as colour, but there are so many options of inks and paints and pencils to choose from that I'm sure you'll be able to find a perfect fit for adding colour to your work. Once you choose a medium for colour, you can play some exercises where you mix colours to match black and white values, then convert the colour version to B&W to see how close your match is.
