>>96491318Many thanks, anon, for both the compliment and the past grilling. Aside from the usual words of encouragement, I’m always grateful to receive constructive criticism – harsh or otherwise.
The sting helps get the creative juices flowin’.I actually used brush pen for the main contours, and helped me narrow how much I depended on my technical pens for finer lines thereafter, so I'm willing to assume that improved with the objects' alignment.
Stippling is relatively new for me, albeit for practicing it in the past, but I see the potential for better visual clarity. Currently on vacation and only have my brush pen with me, but I’ll try to incorporate some stippling exercises and post the results if the thread’s still up.
I'll keep your suggestion with my black voids in mind, too. I've been steadily noticing the conflict between it and my line work in recency, so I'll try to be more conscious of its application in future work. Probably go for a more textural void than the atypical black one. That’s not to say I’ll stop using it, but its application obviously needs improvement.
