Lines drawn (in order) with Signo white overwritten with Sakura white gelli pen, Sharpie fine black, red India ink dropper, Derwent charcoal pencil, Copic teal blue brush end, and Pitt medium black. Had some trouble with the pens working on the matte medium. The Signo white was sketchy and had to be overwritten with the Sakura gelli pen, the Sharpie did not want to write, the India ink worked great, the charcoal was fine, the Copic worked very well, and the Pitt black was used to overwrite a gray Sharpie line that did not show up well enough.
Because of some trouble I had with the markers, some of my lines do not seem spontaneous, but I like the white line on the first one, the "blood" line on the third, and the last piece with the Pitt pen best.
Since posting these, I smudged the charcoal line in the 4th piece and I think it's become my favorite!
The neutral backgrounds did not photograph true, but the colors consisted of neutral gray, Naples yellow hue, and unbleached titanium white. They are nicer than they look here.
I loved working on these quick little studies and really want to do more, but time is at a premium. I will be out of town all next week and will not be able to post. I will try to get to part 2 of this lesson before leaving!
