An ink drawing
The drawing I completed today is called 'We Left the Countryside for the City'. In this ink drawing the figures are walk past hedges and trees as they leave the countryside and make their way towards the city.
The background for the drawing was created by scoring into the paper with a scalpel, then applying layers of ink and water to the paper with a brush. Once the paper was dry I added the details of the drawing using my dip pen and black drawing ink.
They left the countryside behind them as they walked towards the distant city, surrounded in smog its buildings sprawled out across the skyline.
