    Beautiful!

    Is this ink or watercolour? How did you learn to create art like this, I’d love to learn this style!

      Thank you.

      Lines are done with a pen.

      Shading is via a bottle of waterproof ink, a paintbrush, and water.

      So in a way it’s a watercolour, but all ink.

      I hope that helps.

      All learning has been through YouTube videos.

        Thanks, that does help. I’ve mostly seen inks as black but the colours are nice here

          This ink wash thing is new to me, and I agree. I’d only ever thought of black. However, this is a beautiful blue, and I’m staring down the rabbit hole, as I now see all the beautiful inks out there. Some are smooth and rich, others granulate, and are matte and muted. Too much fun.
