EQUIPMENT SELECTION
STEPHANIE LAW takes us through the toolkit used for the ink drawings from her Undying Tales series
The drawing is a combination of ink linework and coloured ink brush pen. I use fine point dip pens for the line elements, which I enjoy over using gel or marker pens because of the ability to create variation in my line width and more organic character. I use varying line width, as well as shading techniques like hatching and cross-hatching. I like to custom-mix my colours using the De Atramentis Document Ink line, which is both lightfast and waterproof. I load them into cartridges for fountain brush pens so that I can add limited colour palette choices for background contrast and additional shading.
