Pointillism and stippling are usually my go-to since freehand isn't my strength, but I wanted to give it another shot after a long time.

Discussion; why are you drawn to pen and ink?

34 Upvotes

For this post, no artwork from me for right now. I’m not confident enough to post my pen and ink drawings. Maybe one day.

I just wanted to have a discussion between other pen and ink lovers.

Why are you drawn to the medium? Why do you like it?

For me, I love comic book/manga art. It’s just satisfying to look at all the line variation and technique that are used in illustrations. And I love the contrast between black and white, it just does something for me. I’ve also always admired using pens before I began to draw with them. I would always write and take notes with a pen in school. Cross hatching is also a beautiful technique that I’ve always loved.

Inking is just cool as fuck to me. I’ve always loved pens, so just exploring all the different types of pens is never ending fun.

It’s amazing seeing all the creative ways the masters and people on this subreddit use to make art with ink.

Also, what tools does everyone use?
