So I have been riding the Honolulu city bus a lot these past couple weeks for work. I have been working on a few sketches while on the bus.
I have been experimenting with this red ink in my fountain pen. At first, I thought it was far too light to be of any real use. I then had the great idea to go back in with black ink and the results are kind of neat.
I can really play with depth of field using the two color inks. With thick black lines, I can push certain things forward on the page. By relying on the red ink, I can have things sink into the background. It reminds me of the technical drawings with red and blue pencils.
I really like the above drawing it was one of the first with the duel ink. The seat and the pole really push to the foreground in this.
I like how much I played with the two color inks here. Its interesting to see the effects of the different color cross hatching.
