inking tutorial: pen and ink cross hatching illustration time lapse with a lightbox 

hey inger, thanks for mentioning snorre sturlason. it should be a great inspiration for me, i do study a lot from those books with pictures illustrated by golden age illustrators :)

AjiAbramArt Oh, that's really cool to know. My pleasure, and thanks :)

very informative, and fun to watch. thanks for uploading, i learned a lot.

thanks calin, glad you appreciate my work :)

thanks for watching, will upload more if i have the time to record&edit video :)

thanks! i also take critiques on my video if you have any 😊

thanks for the kind words ;)

thanks, it's my pleasure!

Bingung bang nabrakin garis nya biar bagus gmn utk crosshatching nya :(

glad to hear that, have fun! :)

oops wrong account lol

saya jarang posting, tp stay tuned aja bro hehe

thanks for watching, i'm in the process of making the next vid. stay tuned 😉

i use tachikawa t77, if you want something more rigid try tachikawa t99

@@AjiAbramArt thanks. as convenient as technical pens are i just dont really jam with them too much for larger crosshatched pieces

yes i do that all the time

check the description

makasih bro!

i still have the original, send me an email to ajiabram.art@gmail.com for inquiry

makasih!

if you're just starting i recommend buying a cheap drawing pen like sakura micron or uni pin, they can make some line variation too, good for practice. my go to ink now is kaimei lettering sol but they kinda hard to find, i had to import a batch from japan. for cheaper alternative would be kuretake sumi which i used in this video, they also more widely available.

abt 2 weeks perhaps

the goal is a well hatched ink illustration, therefore i need a really detailed pencil sketch to avoid mistakes when tracing

pena saya beli online di imstudio kertas w&n smooth 130gsm beli online juga di medialukis

Trus light box Nya beli dimana?

lightbox a4 dari animaproperti jogja, tapi saya udah beli yg lebih gede jd yang ini nggak kepake. kalo kamu mau saya jual murah deh ;)

domisili jogja mas?

bandung ;)

pen dari imstudio, lightbox dari animaproperti. beli di saya jg boleh yg ini dah g dipake lightboxnya

"never say never" JB,2010. LOL

I love berserk! the mangaka has an amazing style though i only read the first 2 chapters haha. thanks, you can use small paper clip (2 or 3 is enough) to stick both paper but you'll still able to rotate them.

AjiAbramArt I did not expect a fast response or any at all but thank you for answering my question and you should also keep reading it. It is definitely worth the read and the artwork becomes better !

one of the purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge, so i really wouldn't mind reading comments and answering them if i can :)

AjiAbramArt I appreciate that ! I'm new to inking so crosshatching, hatching, splotting inks is all new to me. So I appreciate the demos and any tutorials you have coming. Thank you!

i don't remember, probably around 2 weeks? i draw in my spare time

Wow I thougt I was the only one who spend weeks on a drawing. Your work is very, very amazing

AjiAbramArt what is your real job then? :)

pake scanner, grayscale 1200dpi lalu tweak level di photoshop sesuai selera. ntar saya bikin videonya kalo sempat

yg ini beli di animaproperti bro coba cek di ig ato tokped

krn kalo saya enaknya gt, lebih presisi. tp di video yg baru2 langsung inking di 1 kertas

you're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

bandung XD gpp bagus bisa hemat, pertimbangan saya pake kertas baru karena sketsanya sudah detail jadi sayang kalo dihapus hehe, semangat belajarnya!

keep fighting bro

@@AjiAbramArt siap bang semoga semangat ku yg ada tidak memudar... ✊🤘

itu bukan transparan tp saya pake lampu dari bawah jd tembus, belajarnya dr sini aja ya hahaha kalo mau tanya2 boleh lewat ig

Oke siap makasih kak

i still do :) my maru produces thinner line than my 0.1 rotring rapidograph, i use tachikawa t77 maru. nib isn't the only factor to produce fine line, paper and ink plays a big part too. sumi 60 ink by kuretake is pretty good start, combined with smooth paper that doesn't bleed will get you a very fine line.

@@AjiAbramArt Thank you for getting back to me! So I've been looking on Amazon and other websites trying to find an online distributor here in the US, for the T77 nibs. I have found them for the UK and India. Still searching, so I will continue to use the tachikawa mapping nibs I have. I am liking it compared to using my Rapidograph pens, which are expensive and difficult to thoroughly clean without damaging. Especially the 0.13 pen! I use Higgins Black Magic and Higgins Black India ink, both pigment inks. Do you know if they work like the Sumi 60 ink? I use Bristol Strathmore 500 paper, but I also use thick cotton rag that is fibrous.

@@williamsomers1536 any maru nib should be very thin already, the difference is t77 is more flexible or softer than t99. haven't tried higgins ink as they are not available here, but pretty sure its different. i have tried two sumi ink and both are very light and leaves black thin shiny line compared to my other ink. you can try to dillute your ink with water in a small container to make it lighter. both your paper are cotton based right? i actually have tried 2 cotton based paper (rough arto and hot pressed fabriano artistico)and all my ink feather a little on them making the line thicker, idk if it because of the cotton or the sizing. my go to paper is now canson c a grain, it's not very smooth but works well with inks

its better to copy than ink on the pencil sketch, dont need to erase the sketch

thank you dennis, much appreciated!

thanks! i did that many times haha! i just use white ink or a piece of paper when that happen. digital output is easier. maybe i'll make a video of me making correction, it's time for me to resurrect this channel anyway.

yep i did some drawing in that style, you can check them in my website

glad it helps!

check the description, i listed all my tools there

lana smooth surface w&n

thanks!

Ok then try using a g pen and tracing will see if you can "trace a drawing " then

thanks, tintanya udah saya tulis di description

+AjiAbramArt kak permisi kak kalau membersihkan ujung pena pakai apa ya kak? makai tinta hicarb dicuci dengan air nggak hilang kak, terima kasih

iya yg hicarb memang lebih tebel dan susah dibersihin, saya cuman pake itu buat area2 tebel atau buat blocking. bersihinnya yg gampang pake rubbing alcohol 70% yg biasa buat luka, beli di apotek.

haissh salah account lagi lol

AjiAbramArt haha makasih kaak

silakan bro, thanks :)

kalo boleh request bikin tutor artwork yg di warnain di photosop juga bang hehehe

maybe next time yak :)

how did he know i was using gameshark? XD

You just copy dude you not talented

Idiot he traced his own drawing

Yasin Özdoğan Can you do better? Let's see it, man. Show us neophytes how it's done.

Wow call the art cops before you have a seizure
