Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a wizard with ink.
We begin by getting the paper wet.
I´m using a watercolor paper pad where the paper is already stretched.
If you are using a loose sheet, you can tape it all around
to a board, so that it doesn't wrinkle so much.
Then I add diluted Indian ink,
and apply it with an oriental brush.
The Indian ink as you know is totally black
but here I diluted it with water, so as to make it much lighter.
I am leaving a blank area close to the lower end and toward the middle,
that will be an area of light so we respect the white of the paper.
Next, we add a much more intense ink
to the sides and top.
And we can lift the pad to direct a little bit of flow,
but if it has too much we can pick up some with the tissue paper.
And let's add some more also to this side
and to the upper part.
It's pretty dramatic [laughter].
We pick up the excess,
and fill in as needed.
Very good!
We add what will be some land and water...
and then since the diluted ink dries lighter,
let's add some direct, pure, black ink,
but only to the sides and to the top
so that we create the illusion of depth,
of distance.
We obviously don't do it all even and flat, but create a texture like foliage.
Good!
And now, with this beautiful Montegrappa Aviator fountain pen, let's draw the figure!
the magician or wizard.
And we begin from the head.
He's going to be with a strong backlight, so we do it all flat, black.
The list of materials that I am using is in the description below the video.
We can do sort of a reflection on the water, right under him...
his swords,
and then his magic staff,
or his long stick.
I dip the tip of the pen in water
hoping that it will draw, lighter for a moment.
Good!
because the pole is right in front of the light.
Then we just do some detail around,
some more branches and foliage.
Very good!
¡excelente!
and it´s ready!
