The Curse of Vision w/ Process (Traditional, Ink and Markers)

"The Curse of Vision"

9"x 12"

Tools:

Deleter Neopiko-Line-3
FW acrylic ink
Art-N-Fly alcohol based markers

PROCESS:

I recently received some new fine liners and ink that I ordered, doing some testing to find ink that's more resistant to alcohol markers right now. I've heard good things about Deleter, and they have one of the darkest black inks on the market. (Though for this piece I only used the fine liner, i'll be testing their other inks later)

I was excited to use the new fine liner (yes, excited about a marker) so I didn't do any pencil work beforehand on this one. Starting really loose and messy.

So far so good, I really enjoy the Deleter Neopiko. The ink is still quite dark (though it's not their darkest ink) and makes post process easier when scanned, no feathering problems so it makes crisp lines.

Now to test the alcohol markers and see how the Deleter Neopiko's ink holds up. Starting by filling everything in light colors as always, and then adding darker colors on top.

So far no issues with the alcohol marker picking up the black ink, Now we see how it deals with the blending process.
I blend with a colorless alcohol filled marker then go over one last time with the light color to make the blend look more natural. (I honestly had more photos of the blending process this time but most of them corrupted on me.)

And after an hour or two of blending i'll call it finished.

Thanks for taking a look! If you enjoy my art feel free to upvote and resteem!

Johnfist killin' it again!!
I love seein all the progress pics!

johnfist (50) · 7 years ago

Thanks buddy! I had more pictures but a bunch of them corrupted on me, So there should hopefully be more next post.

avesa (63) · 7 years ago

Can't wait! About how long does it take to make one of these masterpieces?

johnfist (50) · 7 years ago

I work on and off on them for around a week, it's a decent time window that doesn't have me forcing it and making mistakes. (I unfortunately have never kept a time log when I draw so I don't have an actual number.) Generally it's the color portion that takes up the most time on these.

Nice! It's workin for ya!! The colors add so much. Keep it up and soon enough you'll be a WHALE. You could also maybe at some point repost some of your first works on here. They deserve much more than the few cents they earned!

johnfist (50) · 7 years ago

Thanks! That's the dream, haha.
That's a good idea! i'll figure out some way to throw back to them, Maybe a mid year recap or an end of year recap or something.

avesa (63) · 7 years ago

That's a brilliant idea. Can't wait! Are you selling them?

johnfist (50) · 7 years ago

At the moment I'm selling them locally (in my area). I'm in the process of setting up a web store so that I can offer them to more people and be able to accept more then just cash or an e-transfer.

It's cool because it gives people an idea of how it all comes together. I think there's as much to admire in the process as in the finished product.
