I was going through my old pile of Rolling Stone Magazines today, and I came upon the interesting article of Norman Mailer. According to Camille Paglia, the writer of the article, he was a novelist, a new journalism pioneer, a public intellectual and a pugilist. I'm into these types of people now, especially if they tried to make a difference in our non-understanding society. To this day he is still remembered as a great writer. That's a good reason to draw him, right?

@ Grace, yeah walnut ink is a bit like watercolor, you could work in layers and water it down even more. Professor Kokinos made us buy this ink, and we never got around to use it. But I recommend it!
ReplyDelete@ Nora, Hey there Nora, thanks for commenting! I basically used walnut ink, which is drawing ink, and I worked in layers, but I mainly focused on the tones of his face. You should definitely try it. This is actually my first time using walnut ink, but see how it works for you!
That's awesome, never used it before. Use to using acrylic, water inks and posters. Will be giving it a shot at some point soon!!
