[QUOTE="Oni, post: 1264342, member: 380"] After the rough came the line art. I'm using the same materials and technique that I used for the previous piece, airborne, so this line art will likely get a tea wash tomorrow and then I'll be painting directly over top of it. I'm pretty happy with things as they are, so unless I wake up tomorrow with an urge to change things, this is the finished linework. Some people might like the line work a little cleaner, but I prefer a little sketchier look, and the colours will cover up some of those errant lines as well. Keep in mind, because of the way I plan on doing the colours, I can't drop in the shadows in the linework or I'll make a mess. My lines are done in brown col-erase pencil on 140lb cold press water colour paper. I've tried using brown ink in the past instead of the pencil, but have had problems with the supposedly waterproof ink running, the brown pencil doesn't do that (and col-erase pencils unlike most colour pencils are not wax based so they don't repel watercolour). Anyway, here is the line art, please excuse the little bit of funny colouration, this scanner doesn't like me so much. [/QUOTE]
