So today I did a bit more gardening and some research, as I’ve started planing some future projects for myself and the blog; especially as I think my travel plans for the year don’t look like they are happening. Then this evening I pulled out my Pental Hybrid pens to have a doodle with on some Papermill Direct Card.
I decided to draw this piece with the Pental Hybrid pens because of the shimmer in the ink and I wanted to try sketching something on black card. These pens are great for fine details on black as they stand out against the background leaving a shimmering coloured mark on the card.
Materials:
- Black Papermill Card.
- White Uniball Signo pen.
- Pental Hybrid Dual Metallic Blue + Gold pen.
- Pental Hybrid Dual Metallic Yellow + Metallic Green.
- Pental Hybrid Dual Metallic Silver.
Method:
- With the white Uniball pen draw the top of the mannequin on the card.
- Using the Green hybrid pen sketch the bodice of the dress onto the card.
- Colour the bust of the dress with the silver pen.
- Colour the band around the hips silver.
- Colour the waist of the dress green following the bodies curve.
- Draw the outline of the skirt attaching it to the bodice before filling the dress with lines following the shape of the skirt.
- Using the Blue pen add some detail to the Bust cups before you realise it vanishes when the ink dries.
