Ink Portraits with Lines and Dots

“You have reached the end of the course, now you are ready to start your final project and make your own portrait inked with raster and ink dots. You are part of a beautiful discipline in which you can enjoy the procedure and development of each of its stages, so I want to share an example of how I would like to see the entire process of your final project: Photography Choose your reference photograph, you will find many that I selected for you to do your work, but you can work with the one you want.

The first strokes Make the drawing in pencil, remember to make it very smooth, so that at the end you can easily erase it. Analyze planes, lights and shadows to plan the use of screens and dots.
The elements Complement your work in a personal way with compositional elements that accompany your portrait.
The inking Start the inking patiently and neatly, plan step by step for each action, once we go through the ink there is no way to go back, so be strategic.
Finish your portrait Lastly, erase the pencil with the eraser, and you can add some color details and voila. You have your portrait with lines and dots in ink! Congratulations.

Remember that working with time, dedication and comfort is important, so take the time that is necessary so that you can carry out your final project without any pressure, enjoy the process and you will love the result. Please, do not forget to upload your final project of the course, I will be waiting for you to give you feedback, it may take a while to answer you, but I will, be patient.

Thank you very much for choosing me as your teacher and partner in this adventure. It has been a lot of fun and inspiring to share this experience with you, see you soon on the forum. ”
